Sethe and Denver take her in and then strange things begin to happen. Set in rural Ohio several years after the Civil War, this profoundly affecting chronicle of slavery and its aftermath is Toni Morrison's greatest novel, a dazzling achievement, and the most spellbinding reading experience of the decade. A brutally powerful, mesmerizing story- read it and tremble. 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 anyones future. 000706957 586__ $$aPulitzer Prize, Fiction, 1988. 000706957 650_0 $$aAfrican American women$$vFiction. 000706957 650_0 $$aWomen slaves$$vFiction. 000706957 650_0 $$aInfanticide$$vFiction. 000706957 651_0 $$aOhio$$vFiction. 000706957 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aMorrison, Toni.$$tBeloved.$$b1st ed.$$dNew York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, 1987$$w(OCoLC)756430101 000706957 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3563.O8749$$iB4$$i1987 000706957 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0703/86046157-s.html 000706957 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random056/86046157.html 000706957 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random045/86046157.html 000706957 85642 $$uhttp://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780394535975.pdf$$3Inhaltsverzeichnis 000706957 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:706957$$pGLOBAL_SET 000706957 980__ $$aBIB 000706957 980__ $$aBOOK
