New Penguin Essentials edition of Ralph Ellison's blistering, impassioned novel of African-American lives in 1940s America, Invisible Man.

'I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.'

Defeated and embittered by a country which treats him as a non-being, the 'invisible man' retreats into an underground cell, where he smokes, drinks, listens to jazz and recounts his search for identity in white society: as an optimistic student in the Deep South, in the north with the black activist group the Brotherhood, and in the Harlem race riots. And explains how he came to be living underground . . .

A Timeless Classic!!

Reviewed in India on 23 April 2015

Verified Purchase

One of the greatest works of American literature, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man is an unflinching indictment of not only racism, but any kind of prejudice that renders a man 'invisible' - a metaphysical situation wherein you're not really invisible, but that people around you refuse, or fail, to see you. Right from the explosive Prologue, Ellison leads you gently away into the world of jazz, of empty melancholic streets where the quest for visibility of one man becomes in turn mankind's perennial quest for meaning, for absolution, in a world that offers no answers. The Penguin Modern Classics edition is a beautiful paperback edition of a timeless classic.

Black humour

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2018

Verified Purchase

This belongs up there with Boccaccio, Rabelais, Cervantes and yes Chaucer. It is an absolute romp through black America, as if someone had asked the author to tell them about what it meant to be black and he'd said to them and to himself "I'LL show you...' And in the showing there is a great reserve of humour though as with The Sellout one could never be sure of the intention of humour, as though it were an unconscious product of the skin colour interface.

Yet in the end it is common humanity in an existential quandary that comes to the fore, or rather takes a back seat. On the way we are treated to various religious, political and downright tragic scenarios and strategies for each of which the orator in Ellison has a rip roaring speech. Great stuff!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is was an absolute classic for me and it will be forever one of my favourite ones. The concept of invisibility is one that speaks volumes to me- in this age of narcissistic self-centred personalities, who are not concerned with knowing one's world-view or what defines an individual. I cannot even begin to explain the depths of this book. Ideally, the best thing will always be to read it and to make their own conclusions. For me, this book is a 5/5.

Excellent and still relevant writing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Excellent and still relevant writing about the issues faced by the African Americans in the US. Though the period in the book refers to the early 20th century, it still seems relevant today. This book (and the writer) was referenced by James Baldwin a few times.

Difficult but compelling read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2019

Verified Purchase

A really powerful book about race in America in the 1950s. Strong themes of the trickster make this a compelling read, though it does drag on at times. Worth reading as a snapshot of history and historical literature - don't expect it to be easy though.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2018

Verified Purchase

Hard read, but well worth it. The ending was the best, I like the paragraph he talks about honesty and that in this life people prefer to listen to half-truths or lies, but when you are truly yourself then you’re not good enough, no one likes you nearly as much. Ellison basically reminds you that you are enough.
