Beskrivelse af Overshadowed
Overshadowed is a novel written by Sutton E. Griggs in the year 1901. The story revolves around the life of a young African-American girl named Naomi. Naomi is a bright and ambitious girl who aspires to become a teacher. However, her dreams are shattered when she is forced to drop out of school due to financial constraints. Naomi's life takes a turn for the worse when she is seduced by a wealthy, older man named Frank Fowler. Despite her initial reluctance, Naomi gives in to Frank's advances, hoping that he will provide her with the financial stability she needs. However, Frank soon abandons her, leaving her pregnant and alone. As Naomi struggles to make ends meet and care for her child, she faces numerous challenges and hardships. She is constantly judged and ostracized by her community, who view her as a fallen woman. However, Naomi refuses to give up and continues to fight for her dreams, even in the face of adversity. The novel explores themes of race, gender, class, and morality, and provides a powerful commentary on the social and economic conditions of African-Americans in the early 20th century. It is a poignant and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
