Another Country

by James Baldwin
Compare to estimated retail price: S$19.15  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

Another Country
Another Country

Intense exploration of raw human connections.

Baldwin's "Another Country" thrums with the pulse of a New York that's as visceral as it is unforgiving, weaving a tale that's unflinching in its examination of the human spirit. Jazz, desire, and a tapestry of entwined fate—this is a deeply character-driven narrative that doesn't shy away from the darkness or the light within us. For anyone seeking a story that dives into the complexities of love and the burdens of societal constraints, this book promises a profound journey.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

From one of the most important American novelists of the twentieth century—a novel of sexual, racial, political, artistic passions, set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France. Stunning for its emotional intensity and haunting sensuality, this book depicts men and women, blacks and whites, stripped of their masks of gender and race by love and hatred at the most elemental and sublime.
