The Weary Blues

Viac o knihe

Langston Hughes's first poetry collection captures the essence of the Black experience in 1920s Harlem. Celebrated for its vivid imagery and emotional depth, the poems range from the soulful "The Weary Blues" to the uplifting "Dream Variation." The work reflects a blend of musicality and cultural identity, with an epilogue echoing Walt Whitman. This reprint of the 1926 edition, introduced by Carl Van Vechten, preserves the original's powerful voice, making it a timeless exploration of resilience and hope.
