Obra-prima da premiada escritora Alice Walker, A cor púrpura conta a história de Celie, uma mulher negra que vive no Sul rural dos Estados Unidos, durante o período de segregação racial. A jovem sofre os mais diversos tipos de violência de seu padrasto e do homem com quem é obrigada a se casar. Mas sua vida muda consideravelmente após a chegada de Shug Avery, amante de seu marido, que a ajuda a descobrir mais sobre si mesma.

Abordando a desigualdade entre os gêneros, o racismo, a misoginia e a desigualdade social, a narrativa é construída por meio das cartas escritas por Celie a Deus e a sua irmã, Nettie, de quem foi obrigada a se separar. A linguagem utilizada por Alice Walker é extremamente lírica, em consonância com a grande marca da protagonista: sua extrema sensibilidade e delicadeza, que resistem às situações adversas em que vive.

Ao escrever este aclamado livro, a autora presenteou os leitores com alguns dos personagens mais marcantes da literatura norte-americana. Não por acaso, a obra foi adaptada para o cinema por Steven Spielberg, com Whoopi Goldberg no papel principal, e indicado ao Oscar, além de ter sido encenada na Broadway. A cor púrpura é um marco na história da ficção.

Work Description

The Color Purple is a 1982 epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker which won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction.

The novel has been the frequent target of censors and appears on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2000–2009 at number seventeenth because of the sometimes explicit content, particularly in terms of violence. In 2003, the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novels."
