Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. El libro que ha inspirado la segunda adaptacion, dirigido por Steven Spielberg.Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read.Un clasico del feminismo y la lucha contra el racismo del siglo XX.Esta es la historia de dos hermanas: Nettie, que ejerce como misionera en Africa, y Celie, que vive en el Sur de Estados Unidos, casada con un hombre al que odia y abrumada por la vergueenza de haber sido violada por quien cree que es su padre. A lo largo de treinta anos ambas mantienen el recuerdo y la esperanza de reencontrarse y vuelcan sus sentimientos en unas cartas conmovedoras. Pero la dramatica existencia de Celie cambiara cuando entre en su vida la amante de su marido, una extraordinaria mujer llama Shug Avery.Alice Walker traza en esta ya clasica historia, narrada en formato epistolar, un crudo y sin embargo bello relato del abuso hacia las mujeres y la comunidad afroamericana en los Estados Unidos de la primera mitad del siglo XX. El relato de ambas hermanas, merecedor del Premio Pulitzer y del National Book Award en 1983, se convierte en simbolo de una lucha que aun a dia de hoy no hemos acabado de librar.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe book that inspired the second adapted film, directed by Steven Spielberg.Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this novel about a resilient and courageous woman has become a Broadway show and a cultural phenomenon.Nominated as one of Americas best-loved novels by PBSs The Great American Read. Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters, spanning twenty years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women. She meets Shug Avery, her husbands mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life, and her stepsons wife, Sophia, who challenges her to fight for independence. And though the many letters from Celies sister are hidden by her husband, Netties unwavering support will prove to be the most breathtaking of all. The Color Purple has sold more than five million copies, inspired an Academy Awardnominated film starring Oprah Winfrey and directed by Steven Spielberg, and been adapted into a Tony-nominated Broadway musical. Lauded as a literary masterpiece, this is the groundbreaking novel that placed Walker in the company of Faulkner (The Nation), and remains a wrenchingyet intensely upliftingexperience for new generations of readers.
