No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. easy to read ( ) I went into this book thinking it was going to be so depressing, but it was surprisingly uplifting as the story went on, and explored cultural barriers in Africa as well as sexuality in America and the life of women of color at this time. There was always such a beautiful solidarity among the women in this book even when they felt threatened by each other, the eventually could come together on the bond of the struggles they had all faced. I first read The Color Purple back in the 1980s. I had forgotten how crowded this novel is. It is not just about Celie and Pa, Mr. —— and Shug Avery, even though those are the characters that make the biggest impression on a first reading. Rather, it contains many different characters and stories of African-American life in the 1930s-1940s. Some of these narratives work better than others. Nonetheless, the novel is well worth revisiting.
Walker accomplishes a rare thing: She makes an epistolary novel work without veering into preciousness. Rather, Celie's full-bodied voice emerges, a moody and honest voice, in an inherently intimate literary form. Without doubt, Alice Walker's latest novel is her most impressive. No mean accomplishment, since her previous books - which, in addition to several collections of poetry and two collections of short stories, include two novels ("The Third Life of Grange Copeland" and "Medridian") - have elicited almost unanimous praise for Miss Walker as a lavishly gifted writer A fable for the modern world A genuinely mind-expanding book Despite the brutality, it's filled with hope and optimism Pertany a aquestes sèriesPertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsRainbow pocketboeken (29) A tot vent (769) Contingut aThe Color Purple Collection: The Color Purple, The Temple of My Familiar, and Possessing the Secret of Joy de Alice Walker Té l'adaptacióAbreujat aHa inspiratTé una guia de referència/complementTé un estudiIn Search of the Color Purple: The Story of Alice Walker's Masterpiece (Books about Books) de Salamishah Tillet Té un suplementTé un comentari al textTé una guia d'estudi per a estudiantsTé una guia del professorPremisDistincionsLlistes notables
