Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood—where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned—Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Whitehead’s ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor—engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar’s first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city’s placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the protagonist of Gulliver’s Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey—hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre–Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPaperback: 348 pages\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Colson Whitehead\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Ehbook (2017)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: Korean\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9791196165833","published_at":"2017-10-30T21:13:15-04:00","created_at":"2017-10-30T21:18:33-04:00","vendor":"Colson Whitehead","type":"Novel","tags":["Award","Colson Whitehead","Ehbook","Fiction","Historical","Korean edition","Literary","Novel"],"price":3098,"price_min":3098,"price_max":3098,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":3098,"compare_at_price_min":3098,"compare_at_price_max":3098,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":2946997747735,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"SCM-9791196165833-103","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The Underground Railroad (Korean Edition)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3098,"weight":476,"compare_at_price":3098,"inventory_quantity":5,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"9791196165833","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/superstorek.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Underground_Railroad.jpg?v=1527195718"],"featured_image":"\/\/superstorek.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Underground_Railroad.jpg?v=1527195718","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"The Underground Railroad (Korean Edition) - Superstore K","id":812265537559,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.715,"height":641,"width":458,"src":"\/\/superstorek.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Underground_Railroad.jpg?v=1527195718"},"aspect_ratio":0.715,"height":641,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/superstorek.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Underground_Railroad.jpg?v=1527195718","width":458}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Underground Railroad (Korean Edition) by Colson Whitehead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n언더그라운드 레일로드 \/ 콜슨 화이트헤드 저\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the Pulitzer Prize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the National Book Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe #1 New York Times bestseller \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia.
