The heart is a lonely hunter : texte intégral suivi d'un dossier bac LLCER anglais
Quatrième de couverture
The pitch
Set in a 1930s town of the deep South, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter tells the story of John Singer, a deaf-mute person, and a disparate group of people who are drawn towards his kind, sympathetic nature.
A young girl with dreams of a musical career, the owner of the café where Singer eats every day, a wild political activist and a black doctor who has devoted his life to the uplift of his community... each opens their heart to Singer, their silent confidant. He, in turn changes their disenchanted fives in ways they could never imagine.
Written when McCullers was just twenty-three, this powerful novel takes the reader on an in-depth journey, embracing white and black humanity in one sweep of understanding and tenderness.
