As esteemed author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates brings his considerable talents to Marvel, will he usher in a new age of glory for Wakanda and its king, T''Challa, A.K.A. the Black Panther? Or will he enter the proud kingdom into its final days? The high-tech African nation has been ravaged by outside forces, its queen has fallen and the people have turned against their king. As dissidents seek violent change, two of T''Challa''s own Dora Milaje forge their own brave path. And while outside forces pour fuel on the fire, the Black Panther recruits his own crew to aid in the struggle. Meanwhile, on the spiritual plane, a journey of transformation begins. This is a story of a king who must find a new way to lead. Of a queen whose tale is not yet fully told. Of angels fighting for change and devils fomenting chaos. Of allies and enemies, friends and foes, love and hate. This is the story of Wakanda. COLLECTING: Black Panther (2016) 1-12

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The renowned author of Between the World and Me journeys to three resonant sites of conflict to explore how the stories we tell—and the ones we don’t—shape our realities. “Ta-Nehisi Coates always writes with a purpose. . . . These pilgrimages, for him, help ground his powerful writing about race.”—Associated Press “Coates exhorts readers, including students, parents, educators, and journalists, to challenge conventional narratives that can be used to justify ethnic cleansing or camouflage racist policing. Brilliant and timely.”—Booklist (starred review) Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities. In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind. Then he takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book’s banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation’s recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city—a capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book’s longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground. Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country’s most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world—and our own souls—and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.

Ta-Nehisi Coates'' complete, acclaimed story of a king who sought to be a hero...a hero who was reduced to a slave...a slave who became a legend!

Meanwhile, T''Challa''s sister Shuri makes a transformative journey through Wakanda''s past, and Storm returns to the Panther''s life! But in the far reaches of space, a new cosmic power emerges: the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda! How did this happen? What does its ruthless Emperor N''Jadaka have planned? And what difference can one nameless-yet-familiar warrior, with no memory of his past, make to the rebellion? The Black Panther -- and Wakanda -- will never be the same!

La brillante primera novela de uno de los autores más relevantes de las letras norteamericanas, ganador del National Book Award por Entre el mundo y yo. El joven Hiram Walker ha crecido en una plantación de esclavos. Cuando su madre fue vendida, le robaron todos sus recuerdos de ella, pero a cambio recibió un don misterioso. Años más tarde, cuando Hiram casi se ahoga en el río, ese mismo poder le salvará la vida. Esta experiencia con la muerte genera en él una necesidad: la de escapar del único hogar que ha conocido. Así comienza un viaje inesperado que le llevará desde la grandeza corrupta de las orgullosas plantaciones de Virginia a las desesperadas células guerrilleras en el desierto, desde el sur profundo hasta los movimientos que luchan por la libertad de los negros en el norte. Incluso mientras se alista en la guerra clandestina entre esclavistas y esclavizados, la determinación de Hiram de rescatar a la familia que dejó atrás perdura. Esta es la dramática historia de una atrocidad infligida a generaciones de mujeres, hombres y niños —la separación violenta y caprichosa de familias— y la guerra que libraron para simplemente ganarse la vida con las personas que amaban. Escrita por uno de los escritores afroamericanos más relevantes de la actualidad, es una obra que cobra aún más fuerza en los tiempos actuales y que busca devolver la humanidad a aquellos a quienes les fue robada.

En Hiram Walker va néixer esclau en una plantació de Virgínia. El dia que van vendre la seva mare, en Hiram va perdre fins l’últim record que tenia d’ella. A canvi, però, va obtenir un estrany poder. Anys més tard, aquest do misteriós el salva de morir ofegat en un riu. Llavors, en Hiram decideix escapar de l’única llar que mai ha conegut. Des dels camps de la corrupta Virginia, fins a les unitats de guerrilla enmig de la selva; des del cementiri vivent del Sud profund, fins a les perilloses corrents idealistes del Nord, en Hiram se submergirà en la guerra acarnissada entre els esclavistes i els esclavitzats de l’Amèrica de mitjans del segle dinou. Escrita per un dels pensadors més imponents de l’escena nord-americana actual, Ballar amb l’aigua és la història intemporal i commovedora de l’atrocitat infligida a generacions d’homes, dones i nens, i de la lluita que van lliurar en nom del dret a la vida, la família i la llibertat.

Steve Rogers ha abbandonato l’identità di Capitan America. L’hanno incastrato, calunniato e gli hanno dato la caccia – ma non si è ancora arreso. Del resto Cap è la perseveranza di fronte al male. Sta combattendo per tornare allo scoperto, un passo alla volta. Sta lottando per la sua reputazione, nell’attesa di impugnare ancora una volta il suo scudo. La nazione è in subbuglio, e Steve Rogers deve difenderla con l’aiuto di Sharon Carter e delle Figlie della Libertà. Un nuovo tassello del mosaico di Ta-Nehisi Coates (Black Panther) su Capitan America, con i disegni di Bob Quinn, Daniel Acuña e Leonard Kirk. [CONTIENE CAPTAIN AMERICA (2018) 20-25]

Le jeune Hiram Walker est né dans les fers. Le jour où sa mère a été vendue, Hiram s’est vu voler les souvenirs qu’il avait d’elle. Tout ce qui lui est resté, c’est un pouvoir mystérieux que sa mère lui a laissé en héritage. Des années plus tard, quand Hiram manque se noyer dans une rivière, c’est ce même pouvoir qui lui sauve la vie. Après avoir frôlé la mort, il décide de s’enfuir, loin du seul monde qu’il ait jamais connu. Ainsi débute un périple plein de surprises, qui va entraîner Hiram depuis la splendeur décadente des _ ères plantations de Virginie jusqu’aux bastions d’une guérilla acharnée au cœur des grands espaces américains, du cercueil esclavagiste du Sud profond aux mouvements dangereusement idéalistes du Nord. Alors même qu’il s’enrôle dans la guerre clandestine qui oppose les maîtres aux esclaves, Hiram demeure plus que jamais déterminé à sauver la famille qu’il a laissée derrière lui. Dans son premier roman, Ta-Nehisi Coates livre un récit profondément habité, plein de fougue et d’exaltation, qui rend leur humanité à tous ceux dont l’existence fut confisquée, leurs familles brisées, et qui trouvèrent le courage de conquérir leur liberté.

Ο Χάιραμ Γουόκερ γεννιέται στη σκλαβιά σε μια φυτεία της Βιρτζίνια. Είναι προικισμένος με μια ανεξήγητη δύναμη που θα ανακαλύψει –σχεδόν άντρας– όταν θα διακινδυνεύσει να χάσει τα πάντα σε μια προσπάθεια να δραπετεύσει. Μια δύσκολη απόφαση θα τον απομακρύνει από την προσωρινή του οικογένεια –τη θετή του μητέρα Θίνα, μια λιγομίλητη γυναίκα με πολλά μυστικά, και την αγαπημένη του Σοφία– και θα τον οδηγήσει στην καρδιά του υπόγειου πολέμου κατά της δουλείας. Εκεί, ένα εκτενές δίκτυο μυστικών πρακτόρων εργάζονται για την απελευθέρωση των μαύρων σκλάβων. Ο Χάιραμ εντάσσεται στον πόλεμο του Υπόγειου Δικτύου, αλλά λαχταρά να επιστρέψει στη δική του, ακόμη σκλαβωμένη, οικογένεια. Για να το καταφέρει, θα χρειαστεί πρώτα να τιθασεύσει τη μυστηριώδη του δύναμη. Μια συναρπαστική ιστορία αντοχής αλλά και αντίστασης στις διακρίσεις, στην καταπίεση και στον αποχωρισμό. Ο Ta-Nehisi Coates φαντάζεται έναν κρυφό πόλεμο ενός σκλαβωμένου λαού ως απάντηση σε μια ανθρώπινη φρικαλεότητα που διαρκεί για ολόκληρες γενιές, έναν πόλεμο για το δικαίωμα στη ζωή, την οικογένεια, τη δικαιοσύνη και την ελευθερία.

Adapted from the adult memoir by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Water Dancer and Between the World and Me, this father-son story explores how boys become men, and quite specifically, how Ta-Nehisi Coates became Ta-Nehisi Coates. As a child, Ta-Nehisi Coates was seen by his father, Paul, as too sensitive and lacking focus. Paul Coates was a Vietnam vet who''d been part of the Black Panthers and was dedicated to reading and publishing the history of African civilization. When it came to his sons, he was committed to raising proud Black men equipped to deal with a racist society, during a turbulent period in the collapsing city of Baltimore where they lived. Coates details with candor the challenges of dealing with his tough-love father, the influence of his mother, and the dynamics of his extended family, including his brother "Big Bill," who was on a very different path than Ta-Nehisi. Coates also tells of his struggles at school and with girls, making this a timely story to which many readers will relate.

Den unge Hiram Walker växer upp moderlös men med en fantastisk gåva som han ännu inte lärt sig att bemästra. En gång när han var nära att drunkna räddades han av en oväntad kraft. Den liknade ett blått ljus som lyfte upp honom och förde honom i säkerhet. Med hjälp av sin styvmor Thena och kärleken Sophia bestämmer Hiram sig för att fly från förtrycket och inleda kampen mot slaveriet. Han lämnar Virginias plantagers korrupta rikedomar, värvas till det underjordiska kriget mellan slavägare och slavar och håller hela tiden fast vid sin yttersta längtan. En dag ska han återvända för att befria den familj som han lämnade kvar. Men för att lyckas måste han en gång för alla lära sig att bemästra den magiska kraften som han har begåvats med. Vattendansaren liknar till det yttre en äventyrsroman, men med sitt starka bildspråk och sitt oförglömliga persongalleri växer den till något sällan skådat i den amerikanska samtidslitteraturen. Det är en roman om de svartas kamp för rättvisa, om vem som har rätt till sanningen - och den är skriven av en av vår tids mest spännande tänkare och omtalade författare.

Ta-Nehisi Coates ha scritto l''epopea di una nazione soffocata, un romanzo di formazione irresistibile come un libro d''avventura, intimo come una storia d''amore, potente come la promessa di un mondo piú giusto. «L''oblio è la vera schiavitú, dice un personaggio del romanzo, l''oblio è la vera morte. È ciò che rende Il danzatore dell''acqua un''opera senza tempo, degna di essere annoverata tra i classici della letteratura contemporanea». «Rolling Stone»

Primeiro romance de uma das principais vozes contemporâneas dos Estados Unidos traz enredo repleto de elementos fantásticos sobre os horrores da escravidão. Por toda a América as plantações de tabaco floresceram e trouxeram riqueza aos senhores de terra durante o século XIX. Quando a bonança começa seu declínio, Howell Walker já vislumbra o próprio fim e sabe que precisará de um substituto para administrar os últimos dias de Lockless, sua propriedade no coração da Virgínia, Estados Unidos. Logo fica claro que seu único herdeiro, Maynard, não tem a menor aptidão para a missão. E mesmo o jovem Hiram, com sua resiliência e memória infalíveis, não poderia fazê-lo ― além de filho ilegítimo de Walker, ele é um escravo. No entanto, quando os meios-irmãos se afogam nas águas do rio Goose, a vida de Hiram é poupada por um poder misterioso e até então oculto dentro dele, uma herança materna que se perdera junto com as lembranças da mãe, vendida e levada para nunca mais voltar. Desse breve encontro com a morte brota uma grande urgência: Hiram precisa escapar do lugar que foi seu lar e prisão desde o dia em que nasceu. A dança da água narra toda a atrocidade infligida a homens, mulheres e crianças negros ao longo de gerações ― os grilhões da escravidão e o desmembramento cruel de inúmeras famílias ―, compondo um relato comovente e místico sobre destino e propósito, perda e separação.

Auf der Flucht vor dem Gesetz und von Nick Fury gejagt, schlagen Steve Rogers und die Daughters of Liberty zurück. Der erste Schritt ist ein Trip an die Grenze mit Kung-Fu-Meisterin White Tiger, um der Organisation namens THEM auf den Zahn zu fühlen. Kann Cap seine Unschuld beweisen, während ein alter Bekannter mit einem neuen Gesicht eine Spur des Blutes hinterlässt?

Parasta kirjallisuutta Yhdysvalloista Ta-Nehisi Coates nousee ensimmäisellä romaanillaan Toni Morrisonin rinnalle suurten amerikkalaisten kertojien joukkoon. Vesitanssija on syvällinen, kiehtova ja maaginen tarina identiteetistä ja sisäisestä voimasta. Hiram, plantaasinomistajan ja orjan jälkeläinen, kasvaa Virginiassa kahden maailman välissä, tietoisena isänperinnöstä, joka ei koskaan voi olla hänen, kadonnutta äitiä kaivaten, orjaväestön ja herrasväen rajalla tasapainoillen. Aikuisuuden lähestyessä Hiram alkaa ymmärtää, miten sortoon perustuva yhteiskunta murenee ympärillä ja tuo hänen kaltaisilleen vain lisää kärsimystä. Kun hän pelastuu hukkumiskuolemalta selittämättömällä tavalla, ainoana muistikuvana outo sininen valo, alkaa vaarallinen matka kohti vapautta, vastuuta ja sisäistä voimaa. HIramin on löydettävä sisältään ikiaikainen kyky, jonka avulla hän voi pelastaa myös läheisensä. Kiitetty ja palkittu kirjoittaja ja journalisti Ta-Nehisi Coates punoo Hiramin huikeana liitävään tarinaan Yhdysvaltain historian kipukohdat, orjuutettujen vapautusliikkeen legendat ja kaikille kansoille ja aikakausille yhteisen minuuden ja itsenäisyyden etsinnän. Ta-Nehisi Coates (s. 1975) on yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, esseisti ja toimittaja, joka lukeutuu tämän hetken johtaviin ajattelijoihin ja yhteiskuntakriitikoihin. Hän on työskennellyt The Atlantic –lehdessä ja opettaa kirjoittamista New York Universityn Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institutessa. Hän on kirjoittanut useita bestsellereitä, joista Between The World And Me voitti National Book Awardin vuonna 2015. Coates kirjoittaa Marvel Comicisille Black Pantheria ja Captain Americaa.
