Sobre este artículo
London: The Women's Press, 1986. First edition, first printing. Published by The Women's Press in London, 1986. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, illustrated by Cathie Felstead, has some curling at the top edge and some very minor handling marks. It has not been price clipped, showing the original £9.95 net price. The boards are free from previous owners marks and tight at the hinges. The text blocks are bright and white throughout and carry a very minor bump. There is a previous owners signature to the front fly, marked out with a black marker. This is a near fine copy of the first hardback edition. An epistolary novel which won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction. It was later adapted into a film and musical of the same name.
Sinopsis
The Color Purple is an acclaimed epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker. Taking place mostly in rural Georgia, this collection of letters weaves an intricate mosaic of women joined by their love for each other, the men who abuse them, and the children they care for. In this, The Color Purple focuses on black female life in the American South during the 1930s, addressing the numerous issues including their exceedingly low position in American social culture. The novel received the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award. Because of the explicit content, particularly in terms of violence, The Color Purple has been a frequent target of censors, appearing on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-1999.
