With an introduction by Jerry W. Ward, Jr. Black Boy is a classic of American autobiography, a subtly crafted narrative of Richard Wright's journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. An enduring story of one young man's coming off age during a particular time and place, Black Boy remains a seminal text in our history about what it means to be a man, black, and Southern in America. "Superb...The Library of America has insured that most of Wright's major texts are now available as he wanted them to be tread...Most important of all is the opportunity we now have to hear a great American writer speak with his own voice about matters that still resonate at the center of our lives." --Alfred Kazin, New York Time Book Review "The publication of this new edition is not just an editorial innovation, it is a major event in American literary history." --Andrew Delbanco, New Republic

Una maldición pesa sobre los Baskerville, que habitan el viejo manoir de sus ancestros, perdido en medio de una lande salvaje: cuando un perro-demonio, una bestia inmunda y gigantesca, aparece, es la muerte. El fallecimiento súbito y trágico de Sir Charles Baskerville y los aullidos lúgubres que a veces se oyen provenientes del pantano, el gran lodazal de Grimpen, dan credibilidad a la siniestra leyenda. Al llegar a Londres, Sir Henry Baskerville, único heredero de Sir Charles, recibe una carta anónima: «Si valoras tu vida y tu razón, aléjate de la lande». A pesar de estas amenazas, Sir Henry decide dirigirse a Baskerville Hall, acompañado de Sherlock Holmes y su fiel Watson. Novela cautivadora y angustiante, El perro de los Baskerville es una de las aventuras más célebres de Sherlock Holmes.
