A collectible hardcover edition of our greatest African American
poet's award-winning first novel about a black boy's coming-of-age
in a largely white Kansas town, featuring an introduction by
National Book Award finalist Angela Flournoy A Penguin Classic When
first published in 1930, Not Without Laughter established Langston
Hughes as not only a brilliant poet and leading light of the Harlem
Renaissance but also a gifted novelist. In telling the story of
Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy in small-town Kansas,
and of his family--his mother, Annjee, a housekeeper for a wealthy
white family; his irresponsible father, Jimboy, who plays the
guitar and travels the country in search of employment; his
strong-willed grandmother Hager, who clings to her faith; his Aunt
Tempy, who marries a rich man; and his Aunt Harriet, who struggles
to make it as a blues singer--Hughes gives the longings and
lineaments of black life in the early twentieth century an
important place in the history of racially divided America. Penguin
Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe
hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and
diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from
seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides
readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the
course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these
literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement,
and creative originality.
