James Jones Libros
6 de noviembre de 1921 – 9 de mayo de 1977
James Jones fue un autor estadounidense reconocido por sus profundas exploraciones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus secuelas perdurables. Sus experiencias personales en tiempos de guerra, desde presenciar el ataque a Pearl Harbor hasta participar en combates en Guadalcanal y recuperarse de heridas, formaron la base de sus novelas más significativas. La obra de Jones profundiza en el peaje psicológico y emocional de la guerra en el soldado individual, retratando sin tapujos las duras realidades de la vida militar y su impacto duradero en el espíritu humano. Su voz distintiva se caracteriza por una honestidad cruda y una representación meticulosa de la experiencia humana bajo coacción extrema.

"The only one of my contemporaries who I felt had more talent than myself was James Jones. And he has also been the one writer of any time for whom I felt any love."-Norman Mailer Paris. May, 1968. This is the Paris of the barricaded boulevards of rebelling students' strongholds, of the literati, the sexual anarchists, the leftists-written chillingly of a time in French history closely paralleling America in the late '60s. The reader sees, feels, smells and fears all the turmoil of the frightening social quicksand of 1968. James Jones (1921???1977) established himself as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century with his WWII trilogy, "From Here to Eternity "(National Book Award winner), "The Thin Red Line "and "Whistle,"
On Guadalcanal in the south Pacific, the soldiers of C Company are about to enter the war. The men know they face their baptism of fire. But none know if they will be one of 'the lucky ones' to make it safely off the island.
