Alexie Sherman – Ten Little Indians

Descrizione prodotto

Sherman Alexie is an acclaimed and bestselling writer. In “Ten Little Indians”, he offers eleven poignant and emotionally resonant stories about Native Americans who, like all Americans, find themselves at personal and cultural crossroads, faced with heartrending, tragic, sometimes wondrous moments of being that test their loyalties, their capacities, and their notions of who they are and whom they love. In “The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above”, an intellectual feminist Spokane Indian woman saves the lives of dozens of white women all around her, to the bewilderment of her only child, now a grown man who looks back at his life with equal parts of fondness, amusement, and regret. In “Do You Know Where I Am?”, two college sweethearts rescue a lost cat – a simple act that has profound moral consequences for the rest of their lives together. In “What You Pawn I Will Redeem”, a homeless Indian man must raise $1,000 in twenty-four hours to buy back the fancy dance outfit stolen from his grandmother fifty years
