One of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, "The Known
World" is a daring and ambitious work by Pulitzer Prize winner
Edward P. Jones.
"The Known World" tells the story of Henry Townsend, a black
farmer and former slave who falls under the tutelage of William
Robbins, the most powerful man in Manchester County, Virginia.
Making certain he never circumvents the law, Townsend runs his
affairs with unusual discipline. But when death takes him
unexpectedly, his widow, Caldonia, can't uphold the estate's order,
and chaos ensues. Jones has woven a footnote of history into an
epic that takes an unflinching look at slavery in all its moral
complexities.
