The Human Stain

It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town a distinguished classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist. The charge is unfounded, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser.

Este anul 1998, anul in care America este cufundata intr-o frenezie a lascivei din cauza demiterii unui presedinte, iar intr-un orasel din New England, un distins profesor de literatura clasica, Coleman Silk, este fortat sa se pensioneze dupa ce colegii sai il acuza de rasism. Acuzatia este nefondata, dar adevarul despre Silk l-ar uimi chiar si pe cel mai virulent acuzator al sau.
