內容簡介

內容簡介 2021年度紐伯瑞銀獎關於自由的代價和脆弱的動人傳記繪本亨利·布朗自述,他「以一個奴隸的身份進入了這個世界」。而他成年後,他的主人還惡意地賣掉了他的妻子和孩子。他眼睜睜看著家人被鎖上鐵鏈,已然失去了一切、一無所有。他毅然決然將自己裝箱,把自己寄往自由世界,逃離被奴役的一生。非裔美國暢銷作家、著名詩人卡羅爾·波士頓·韋瑟福德在每一首六行的詩節中鏗鏘有力地敘述亨利·布朗的一生。插畫家以豐富色調及混和媒材的插畫和諧地與文字唱和,讓整個故事更加動人。「令人心碎而傳奇。」 ——《科克斯》書評雜誌星級評論A 2021 Newbery Honor Book In a moving, lyrical tale about the cost and fragility of freedom, a New York Times best-selling author and an acclaimed artist follow the life of a man who courageously shipped himself out of slavery. What have I to fear?My master broke every promise to me.I lost my beloved wife and our dear children.All, sold South. Neither my time nor my body is mine.The breath of life is all I have to lose.And bondage is suffocating me. Henry Brown wrote that long before he came to be known as Box, he "entered the world a slave." He was put to work as a child and passed down from one generation to the next -- as property. When he was an adult, his wife and children were sold away from him out of spite. Henry Brown watched as his family left bound in chains, headed to the deeper South. What more could be taken from him? But then hope -- and help -- came in the form of the Underground Railroad. Escape In stanzas of six lines each, each line representing one side of a box, celebrated poet Carole Boston Weatherford powerfully narrates Henry Brown's story of how he came to send himself in a box from slavery to freedom. Strikingly illustrated in rich hues and patterns by artist Michele Wood, Box is augmented with historical records and an introductory excerpt from Henry's own writing as well as a time line, notes from the author and illustrator, and a bibliography.
