Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time

Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching--yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.

After a brief prologue, the story begins with a terrifying experience of the hero's high school days, moves quickly to the campus of a Southern Negro college and then to New York's Harlem, where most of the action takes place. The many people that the hero meets in the course of his wanderings are remarkably various, complex and significant. With them he becomes involved in an amazing series of adventures, in which he is sometimes befriended but more often deceived and betrayed--as much by himself and his own illusions as by the duplicity of the blindness of others.

Invisible Man is not only a great triumph of storytelling and characterization; it is a profound and uncompromising interpretation of the Negro's anomalous position in American society. Action & Abenteuer Belletristik Klassiker Psychologie

Really felt the book come to life in my ears. If you have read this book, then the Audible Version is a must do. What really made this book come to life is the astounding narration skills of Joe Morton. Every accent, persona, even breaths taken were phenomenal.

Super happy with this option.

An interesting and remarkable story of minority struggles and conditio humana, perfectly read by J. Morton. A must-read.

Das Buch ist wichtig und Joe Morton liest es beeindruckend. Intensiv, facettenreich, so dass man manchmal unsicher ist, ob es sich wirklich nur um einen Sprecher handelt.
Leider ist das Buch in seiner Struktur etwas konfus und die Geschichte wirkt dadurch aus meiner Sicht etwas zerfahren und willkürlich.
Insgesamt aber ein wichtiges Werk und ein sehr gutes Hörbuch.

Wichtiges Buch, beeindruckend gesprochen.

This book is a classic of African-American literature of the 50ies, and you might like it or not, find it out of date or exaggerated, or shocking for its true depiction of the situation, - but whatever else, it is a great pleasure to listen to the absolutely wonderful performance of Joe Morton, which makes listening an outstanding experience, I would have given 10 stars for performance if I could.

Wonderfully read
