Recognition of Nata Turner. Styron William

One of the most scandalous and ambiguous books of the 20th century, first published in 1967, for which William Stairon received the Pulitzer Prize. The author offers in his novel a very unexpected, but no less convincing version of what happened in 1831.

a desperate rebellion of slaves led by a slave-manager Naturer shocked the United States with his truly barbaric cruelty: the rebels killed the whites without analysis, Not sparing neither women nor children. The suppression of the rebellion was no less cruel - the pacifiers were tortured and executed, not distinguishing the guilty and innocent.

But only the rage of people scored before the loss of self -preservation instinct was behind this strange rebellion, whose participants considered their leaders the goddessed saint ? Who really was Nat Turner? How did he live, who he loved, what he hated and what he achieved, raising people to a deliberately doomed business?
