One of the most controversial and controversial books of the 20th century, first published in 1967, for which William Styron won the Pulitzer Prize. The author offers in his novel a very unexpected, but no less convincing version of what happened in 1831.
A desperate slave rebellion led by a slave preacher Nat Turner shocked the United States with its truly barbaric cruelty: the rebels killed whites indiscriminately, sparing neither women nor children. The suppression of the rebellion was no less cruel - the suppressors tortured and executed, not distinguishing between the guilty and the innocent.
But was it only the fury of people who were beaten to the point of losing the instinct of self-preservation, was behind this strange rebellion, the participants of which considered their leader a divinely inspired saint ? Who was the real Nat Turner? How did he live, whom did he love, what did he hate and what did he achieve by raising people to a deliberately doomed cause?

Вражаючий роман, що змушує задуматися про мораль і справедливість
"Признання Ната Тернера" - це не просто книга, а справжній літературний шедевр, який відкриває перед читачем складні питання про рабство, бунт і людську природу. Вільям Стайрон майстерно переплітає історичні факти з вигаданими елементами, створюючи глибокий і багатогранний портрет Ната Тернера. Його бунт, хоч і жорстокий, змушує задуматися про причини такого відчаю і боротьби за свободу. Стайрон не боїться показати всю жорстокість обох сторін конфлікту, що робить роман ще більш потужним. Незважаючи на деякі недоліки в перекладі, які можуть відволікати, зміст і емоційна сила книги повністю компенсують ці недоліки. Рекомендую всім, хто цікавиться історією, соціальними питаннями та літературою, що змушує думати!
