The color purple
A classic of feminism and the struggle against twentieth-century racism. This is the story of two sisters: Nettie, who works as a missionary in Africa, and Celie, who lives in the Southern United States, married to a man she hates and overwhelmed by the shame of having been raped by the man she believes to be her father. Over thirty years, both maintain the memory and hope of reuniting and pour their feelings into moving letters. But Celie's dramatic existence will change when her husband's lover, an extraordinary woman named Shug Avery, enters her life. In this now classic story, told in epistolary format, Alice Walker traces a crude yet beautiful account of abuse against women and the African American community in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. The story of both sisters, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1983, becomes a symbol of a struggle that we have yet to finish fighting today. Critics have said... "An ever-relevant novel." "Alice Walker is a wonderfully gifted writer." "The Color Purple places Walker alongside Faulkner." "Brilliant. A book to frame alongside the classics of literature of all time." |
