BESTSELLER #1 DEL NEW YORK TIMES El libro en el que se basa la pel�cula de Netflix. Hillbilly, una eleg�a rural es un relato apasionado y apasionante de una clase social en decadencia: la clase trabajadora blanca en Estados Unidos . Hillbilly , relata la poderosa historia del origen de J.D. Vance, el candidato republicano a la vicepresidencia para las elecciones de 2024 El libro del a�o en EE.UU. que nos permite entender los cambios sociales que han conllevado la victoria de Donald Trump. Los hillbillies , t�rmino peyorativo que hace referencia a los habitantes de la cordillera de los Apalaches, forman parte de este grupo social cada vez m�s empobrecido y radicalizado del pa�s. J. D. Vance cuenta la historia de unos habitantes que se han ido degradando lentamente durante m�s de cuarenta a�os y cuyo declive ejemplifica a la perfecci�n su disfuncional familia. El resentimiento, la falta de ambici�n y una combinaci�n letal de victimismo y pesimismo junto a una devoci�n por el pa�s, una fervorosa fe en Dios y un desaforado sentido del honor han hecho que los hillbillies posean una tendencia a la violencia f�sica y verbal, al alcoholismo y las drogas, se conformen con vivir de los subsidios del Gobierno y sean despreciados por sus compatriotas de ambas costas del pa�s. Su respuesta a todo ello es conocida: encumbraron a Donald Trump a la presidencia de Estados Unidos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Hillbilly Elegy recounts J.D. Vance's powerful origin story... From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate now serving as a U.S. Senator from Ohio and the Republican Vice Presidential candidate for the 2024 election, an incisive account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class. THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ""You will not read a more important book about America this year."" --The Economist ""A riveting book."" --The Wall Street Journal ""Essential reading."" --David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis--that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were ""dirt poor and in love,"" and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feel
