Bigger Thomas, the central figure in Richard Wright’s novel Native Son (1940), eludes easy categorization. A violent and troubled character who rejects the rules of society, Bigger is both victim and perpetrator, damaged by racism and segregation on the South Side of Chicago, seemingly raping and killing without regrets. His story has electrified readers for more than eight decades, and it continues to galvanize debates around representation, respectability, social justice, and racism in American life.

Partiendo de la célebre meditación de John Donne, Nuccio Ordine amplía su "biblioteca ideal" invitándonos a leer—y a releer—más páginas escogidas de la literatura universal. Convencido de que una cita brillante puede despertar la curiosidad del lector y animarlo a leer la obra de la que procede, Ordine continúa su defensa de los clásicos, demostrando que la literatura es fundamental para fomentar el entendimiento y la compasión entre las personas.
