Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War era, the narrative follows Captain Andy Hawks and his family as they embark on a journey aboard the showboat Cotton Blossom along the Mississippi River. The story intricately weaves the lives of characters like Julie, Steve, Ellie, and "Schultzy," exploring themes of love, prejudice, and a longing for the past through the experiences of three generations of performers. Edna Ferber's work captures the complexities of life on the river and the enduring spirit of its inhabitants.
