A propos de cet article

Seventeenth Printing, October 1993, w/NOBEL PRIZE in Literature gold sticker on front cover. Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. Bright & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. Erstwhile remainder red line on top edge, o/w unmarked. "It is the story--set in post-Civil War Ohio--of Sethe, an escaped slave who has risked death in order to wrench herself from a living death; who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad: a woman of 'iron eyes and backbone to match.' Sethe lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing intruder who calls herself Beloved. [] Sethe works at 'beating back the past,' but it is alive in all of them. It keeps Denver fearful of straying from the house. It fuels the sadness that has settled into Baby Suggs' 'desolated center where the self that was no self made its home.' And to Sethe, the past makes itself heard and felt incessantly: in memories that both haunt and soothe her . . . in the arrival of Paul D ('There was something blessed in his manner. Women saw him and wanted to weep'), one of her fellow slaves on the farm where she had once been kept . . . in the vivid and painfully cathartic stories she and Paul D tell each other of their years in captivity, of their glimpses of freedom . . . and, most powerfully, in the apparition of Beloved, whose eyes are expressionless at their deepest point, whose doomed childhood belongs to the hideous logic of slavery and who, as daughter, sister and seductress, has now come from the 'place over there' to claim retribution for what she lost and for what was taken from her. [] Sethe's struggle to keep Beloved from gaining full possession of her present--and to throw off the long, dark legacy of her past--is at the center of this profoundly affecting and startling novel. But its intensity and resonance of feeling, and the boldness of its narrative, lift it beyond its particulars so that it speaks to our experience as an entire nation with a past of both abominable and ennobling circumstance. [] In BELOVED, Toni Morrison has given us a great American novel." [jacket copy] "Toni Morrison's finest work. . . . It sets her apart and displays her prodigious talent."--Chicago Sun-Times. "In her most probing novel, Toni Morrison has demonstrated once again the stunning powers that place her in the first ranks of our living novelists."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "There is something great in BELOVED: a play of human voices, consciously exalted, perversely stressed, yet holding true. It gets you."--The New Yorker. "A book worth many rereadings."--Glamour. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright & intact NF jacket. Quite presentable. …
