Overview
El consumado narrador Christopher Paul Curtis aporta su característico humor y su vibrante estilo narrativo a la apasionante historia de Elijah Freeman, un niño de once años.
Elijah, el primer niño nacido en libertad en Buxton, Canadá —un asentamiento de esclavos fugitivos situado justo al otro lado de la frontera con Detroit—, es conocido en su ciudad natal como el niño que le vomitó encima a Frederick Douglass. (No a propósito, claro está; ¡en ese entonces era solo un bebé!) Pero las cosas cambian cuando un exesclavo que se hace llamar el Reverendo Zephariah W. Connerly III le roba dinero al amigo de Elijah, el Sr. Leroy, quien ha estado ahorrando para rescatar a su familia de la esclavitud en el sur. Elijah se une al Sr. Leroy en un peligroso viaje a Estados Unidos en busca del predicador de dudosa reputación, y descubre de primera mano los horrores inimaginables de la vida de la que huyeron sus padres: una vida de la que siempre estará libre, si es capaz de encontrar el valor para regresar a casa.
Emocionante, pero evocadora; desgarradora, pero hilarante, Elijah de Buxton es lo mejor de Christopher Paul Curtis, y es un testimonio inolvidable del poder de la esperanza.
Elijah de Buxton ganó el Premio Coretta Scott King y obtuvo Mención de Honor Newbery en 2008.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Master storyteller Christopher Paul Curtis lends his trademark humor and vibrant narrative style to the gripping tale of eleven-year-old Elijah Freeman.
The first child born into freedom in Buxton, Canada, a settlement of runaway slaves just over the border from Detroit, Elijah is best known in his hometown as the boy who threw up on Frederick Douglass. (Not on purpose, of course - he was just a baby then!) But things change when a former slave calling himself the Right Reverend Zephariah W. Connerly the Third steals money from Elijah's friend Mr. Leroy, who has been saving to buy his family out of captivity in the south. Elijah joins Mr. Leroy on a dangerous journey to America in pursuit of the disreputable preacher, and he discovers firsthand the unimaginable horrors of the life his parents fled - a life from which he'll always be free, if he can find the courage to go back home.
Exciting, yet evocative, heart-wrenching, yet hilarious, Elijah of Buxton is Christopher Paul Curtis at his very best - and it's an unforgettable testament to the power of hope.
Elijah of Buxton is the winner of the Coretta Scott King Award and a Newbery Honor Book for 2008.
