Synopsis "La Canción de Salomón"

Una novela poderosa, sensual y poética que explora la historia que une cuatro generaciones de una familia erróneamente llamada Dead. A medio camino entre la fantasía mítica y la cruda realidad de los guetos negros en los años sesenta, La canción de Salomón narra la historia familiar de un próspero hombre de negocios que ha tratado de ocultar sus orígenes para integrarse en la sociedad blanca. Pese a sus esfuerzos, su hijo decide tomar el camino opuesto. Lejos de rehuir a sus iguales como hizo su padre, entrará en un círculo de gente dispuesta a reaccionar contra la violencia de los blancos y emprenderá un viaje en busca de un tesoro que habrá de conducirle a los orígenes de su raza. Una magnífica saga familiar a lo largo de tres generaciones, que le valió a Toni Morrison el Award National Book Critic's Circle de 1978. Reseña:«Pocos estadounidenses pueden decir más de lo que Morrison ha dicho en esta sabia y extensa novela.»Reynolds Price, The New York Times

(Ohio, 1931 - New York, 2019) Chloe Ardelia Wofford, known under the pseudonym Toni Morrison, is an African American storyteller. She alternated her job as a Humanities professor at Princeton University with literary activity. In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, especially the situation of women. She was the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. She died in August 2019 in the small New York village of Grand View-on-Hudson at the age of eighty-eight.

In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, as well as other themes such as identity, memory, racism, or cultural resistance. Among her most notable novels are Beloved, with which she won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon.

Her literary style combines deep psychological introspection with unique lyricism, marking a before and after in American literature. Through her work, Morrison left a timeless legacy, giving voice to silenced stories and challenging dominant power structures.
