About the Book

Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read

La obra cumbre de Ralph Ellison es una feroz visión de la sociedad estadounidense durante los primeros años del siglo XX.

Considerada la obra cumbre de Ralph Ellison y una de las cien mejores novelas de lengua inglesa del siglo XX, esta novela es el relato en primera persona de quien se describe a sí mismo como un «hombre invisible», no por una anormal condición fisiológica, sino porque la sociedad permanece ciega ante él; se niega a verlo.
Ellison desgrana así, desde el presente oscuro, «bajo tierra», del protagonista, las preocupaciones sociales e intelectuales de su tiempo con crudeza y sensibilidad. De ello resulta una dura crítica tejida con poesía e inteligencia, ganadora del National Book Award de ficción en 1953.
Saul Bellow dijo sobreEl hombre invisible...
«Un libro de primerísimo orden, una novela superba.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Invisible Man is a milestone in American literature, a book that has continued to engage readers since its appearance in 1952. A first novel by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century. The nameless narrator of the novel describes growing up in a black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of the Brotherhood, and retreating amid violence and confusion to the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be. The book is a passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, Joyce, and Dostoevsky.
About the Author: Ralph Waldo Ellison (1914-1994) nació en Oklahoma City. Su nombre, un homenaje al escritor Ralph Waldo Emerson, es el reflejo de los deseos de su padre, fallecido cuando él tenía solamente dos años, de que su hijo llegara a ser poeta. Los primeros derroteros artísticos de Ralph Waldo, sin embargo, estuvieron relacionados con la música. Fue así que en 1933 ingresó en el Instituto Tuskegee para cursar estudios musicales. No obstante, también allí, en su tiempo libre, descubrió algunos de los autores que le inspirarían y serían para él como un despertar. En 1936 se fue a Nueva York para formarse en fotografía y escultura. Durante esos años entró en contacto con personajes destacados de la escena cultural de la ciudad y se implicó en causas políticas, afiliándose en primera instancia, y hasta la segunda guerra mundial, al Partido Comunista. Con la paz restablecida y viviendo de las críticas literarias que le encargaban, Ellison se dedicó a la redacción de El hombre invisible, que saldría publicada en 1952 y ganaría en 1953 el prestigioso National Book Award de ficción, que lo situaría en la órbita de los más destacados nombres de la literatura estadounidense de su tiempo. A partir de entonces, Ellison consagró su vida a la escritura con artículos, ensayos y narrativa que constituyen una solvente obra en la que, además de su debut novelístico, despuntan títulos como Shadow and Act (1964), Going to the Territory (1986) y, póstumamente, Vuelo a casa (1996) y Juneteenth (1999). Ocupó la cátedra Albert Schweitzer de Humanidades en la Universidad de Nueva York durante diez años. Asimismo, fue condecorado con varios galardones a lo largo de su vida, como la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad (1969) y la Medalla Nacional de las Artes (1985), además de pertenecer a la Academia Estadounidense de las Artes y las Letras.
