Voici l'histoire, brillamment racontée, de deux femmes noires du sud des Etat-Unis, deux scrurs séparées dés l'adolescence mais qui. durant les trente années qui englobent les deux guerres mondiales, conserveront intact leur attachement. L'une, Nettie, est missionnaire en Afrique ; l'autre, Celie, demeurée au pays, est une femme-enfant mariée un hornme qu'elle déteste. Les deux scrurs Vont entreprendre la plus insolite des correspondances. Insolite parce qu'aucune de leurs lettres ne leur parvient jamais : les lettres de Nettie sont subtilisées par le mari de Celie et celle-ci, ignorant oü se trouve sa scrur, adresse ses lettres å Dieu. Et pourtant l'échange demeure, méme si les réponses ne les atteignent jamais. Celie et Nettie ont désespérement besoin l'une de l'autre, mais parviendront-elles seules s'éveiller et prendre conscience d'elles-mémes ? Ce roman poignant, mais dont l'humour n'est pas absent, se rattache å la grande tradition de la littérature sudiste. II a rencontré un succes remarquable aux EtatS-UniS.

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."
