Toni Morrison Beloved

Toni Morrison (Author), Harold Bloom (ed.) Illustrator: . Beloved: (Viva Modern Critical Interpretations) Viva Books Private Limited 2007 ISBN: 9788130906386

New Paperback . Because of BelovedaEUR s concern with violence committted both against and within african american communities, the novel can be read as an intervention in two distinct but related debates on American histories of race... The neoconservative and Reaganist polemics of the 1980s.... the liberal politics of the war on poverty. What Beloved suggests is that tomorrow is made possible by the knowledge of yesterday, a knowledge that for contemporary African Americans can be gained from imaging what it was like to walk in the flesh of their slave ancestors. VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William FaulkneraEUR s The Sound and the Fury and Don DelilloaEUR s White Noise.

Morrison, Toni: Beloved, New York Alfred A. Knopf Inc. 1987
ISBN: 0394535979 Near Fine

Hardcover. This is a very clean, fresh and nice first printing. An increasingly uncommon first edition in collector's condition. Unclipped. At the center of Toni Morrison's fifth novel, which earned her the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is an almost unspeakable act of horror and heroism: a woman brutally kills her infant daughter rather than allow her to be enslaved. The woman is Sethe, and the novel traces her journey from slavery to freedom during and immediately following the Civil War. Woven into this circular, mesmerizing narrative are the horrible truths of Sethe's past: the incredible cruelties she endured as a slave, and the hardships she suffered in her journey north to freedom. Just as Sethe finds the past too painful to remember, and the future just "a matter of keeping the past at bay," her story is almost too painful to read. Yet Morrison manages to imbue the wreckage of her characters' lives with compassion, humanity, and humor. Part ghost story, part history lesson, part folk tale, Beloved finds beauty in the unbearable, and lets us all see the enduring promise of hope that lies in anyone's future.
