Himes Chester, Jackson Samuel L. (NRT) Title : A Rage in Harlem (CD Audiobook)
Author: Himes Chester, Jackson Samuel L. (NRT)
Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Star Wars films), fresh off the success of his uproarious, Audie-nominated performance of the mock children’s bookGo the F**k to Sleep, delivers a swaggering, darkly-humored rendering of Chester Himes’ classic first novel.

Himes, described by The Sunday Times as “the greatest find in American crime fiction since Raymond Chandler,” was no stranger to the world of crime: in his late teens and early 20s, he served 7 years in the Ohio State Penitentiary for armed robbery, the confession to which was beaten out of him by the police. He delivers the tale of his hopelessly naïve hero suddenly finding himself on the run from a hypocritical and far-from-heroic police force with lurid violence and brutal humor. There is no voice better than Mr. Jackson’s to narrate this hardboiled story of love and crime, set in a richly imagined, mid-20th century Harlem.

A Rage in Harlem is part of Audible’s A-List Collection, featuring the world’s most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star had a hand in selecting.

Himes Chester Title : Rabbia a Harlem
Author: Himes Chester
Publisher: Marcos y Marcos

Imabelle è una bomba di sesso e malizia, e ha per le mani un malloppo che scotta. Jackson è cotto marcio di lei: se la prende in casa e la aiuta a occultare il bottino. Nero, credente, credulone, Jackson ha ripulito le casse della parrocchia per partecipare a un singolare esperimento di 'moltiplicazione' del denaro: ovviamente, una truffa organizzata alle sue spalle da una gang di ceffi sanguinari. Quando Imabelle scompare nel nulla, Jackson chiede una mano al fratello Goldy - un tossico travestito da suora che semina improbabili premonizioni - ma è peggio che andar di notte. A mettere un po' d'ordine, dal profondo nero di Harlem sbucano Bara e Beccamorto, una coppia di poliziotti violenti e implacabili simili a 'due allevatori di maiali a caccia di divertimento nella Grande Mela'. Rabbia a Harlem è un viaggio nella giungla di una metropoli spietata.

Himes Chester Title : Corri uomo corri
Author: Himes Chester
Publisher: Meridiano Zero

Testimone involontario di un duplice, brutale omicidio, il giovane Jimmy Johnson - inserviente notturno in una tavola calda di Harlem - diventa bersaglio dell'implacabile assassino: un agente di polizia razzista e alcolizzato. Teatro di questa feroce caccia all'uomo è una Harlem iperrealista, un girone infernale i cui abitanti si dividono tra cattivi e ancor più cattivi, e una Manhattan ostile, pronta a respingere chiunque bussi alle sue porte in cerca d'aiuto. Spremendo fino all'osso uno dei più antichi luoghi comuni del thriller - l'innocente in fuga braccato dalle forze del male - Chester Himes confeziona in 'Corri, uomo, corri!' una delle sue messinscene più macabre, i cui elementi tragici tingono di nichilismo estremo il ritratto di un perverso rapporto tra bianchi e neri. A partire dal magistrale alternarsi di piani sequenza che apre il romanzo, Himes organizza uno spietato inseguimento per le strade, le case e i locali della metropoli newyorkese, ma allo stesso tempo dipinge un minuzioso quadro di vita quotidiana nella Harlem degli anni Cinquanta: un turbinio di cabaret equivoci, bische clandestine, botteghe di barbiere e stazioni di polizia. Un mondo, quello di Himes, popolato da personaggi grotteschi e dominato dall'avidità e dal disprezzo, un sabba demoniaco in cui la differenza tra gli uomini è fatta dai soldi e dal colore della pelle.

Himes Chester Title : Rabbia a Harlem
Author: Himes Chester
Publisher: Marcos y Marcos

Jackson è un nero religioso e un po' allocco. Imabelle una bomba di sesso e malizia. Lei lo ha messo nelle grinfie di una banda di truffatori. Dopo essersi fatto soffiare i risparmi, Jackson si rivolge al fratello Goldy, un tossicomane travestito da suora, che spaccia droga e vende biglietti pieni di strane premonizioni. Entrano in scena Ed Bara e Jones Beccamorto, due poliziotti che assomigliano a due 'allevatori di maiali venuti a passare il week-end nella Grande Mela'. Un viaggio stravolto nella giungla urbana di una metropoli che potrebbe essere ovunque. Basta guardare per strada, in qualsiasi quartiere, appena fuori dal centro, lastricato dalle vetrine multinazionali, e la tragi-commedia è lì. Prefazione di Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.

Himes Chester B., Als Hilton (FRW) Title : If He Hollers Let Him Go
Author: Himes Chester B., Als Hilton (FRW)
Publisher: Da Capo Pr

This story of a man living every day in fear of his life for simply being black is as powerful today as it was when it was first published in 1947. The novel takes place in the space of four days in the life of Bob Jones, a black man who is constantly plagued by the effects of racism. Living in a society that is drenched in race consciousness has no doubt taken a toll on the way Jones behaves, thinks, and feels, especially when, at the end of his story, he is accused of a brutal crime he did not commit. 'One of the most important American writers of the twentieth century ... [a] quirky American genius...'?Walter Mosley, author of Bad Boy Brawly Brown, Devil in a Blue Dress 'If He Hollers is an austere and concentrated study of black experience, set in southern California in the early forties.'?Independent Publisher

Himes Chester Title : Yesterday Will Make You Cry
Author: Himes Chester
Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc

A classic restored-the complete and unexpurgated text of a great African-American writer's brutal and lyrical novel of prison life. First published in reduced and bowdlerized form in 1952 as Cast the First Stone, Yesterday Will Make You Cry was Chester Himes's first, most powerful, and autobiographical novel. This Old School Books edition presents it for the first time precisely as Himes wrote it, a sardonic masterpiece of debasement and transfiguration in an American penitentiary and one of his most enduring literary achievements.

Himes Chester Title : Il grande sogno d'oro
Author: Himes Chester
Publisher: Marcos y Marcos

A Harlem, durante una concitata riunione pseudo-religiosa, una cuoca di colore racconta uno strano sogno, beve l'acqua benedetta dal predicatore, entra in trance e cade a terra esanime. L'ebreo che acquista illegalmente i suoi mobili viene ucciso da un individuo misterioso, che subito dopo l'omicidio è vittima a sua volta di una feroce aggressione. Inizia così una frenetica caccia al tesoro, i cui partecipanti si ostacolano l'un l'altro senza esclusione di colpi, pur ignorando se il denaro che cercano esiste davvero o se è già stato ritrovato da qualcun altro. Le indagini sugli omicidi sono affidate a Coffin Ed e Grave Digger, il cui compito è reso ancora più difficile dalla consapevolezza che gli abitanti di Harlem coinvolti in attività illegali sono tutti bugiardi.
