Pero la dramática existencia de Celie cambiará cuando entre en su vida la amante de su marido, una extraordinaria mujer llama Shug Avery.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this novel about a resilient and courageous woman has become a Broadway show and a cultural phenomenon.
Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband.
In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters, spanning twenty years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women. She meets Shug Avery, her husband’s mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life, and her stepson’s wife, Sophia, who challenges her to fight for independence. And though the many letters from Celie’s sister are hidden by her husband, Nettie’s unwavering support will prove to be the most breathtaking of all.
The Color Purple has sold more than five million copies, inspired an Academy Award–nominated film starring Oprah Winfrey and directed by Steven Spielberg, and been adapted into a Tony-nominated Broadway musical. Lauded as a literary masterpiece, this is the groundbreaking novel that placed Walker “in the company of Faulkner” (The Nation), and remains a wrenching—yet intensely uplifting—experience for new generations of readers.

About the Author
Alice Walker nació en Putnam County, Georgia, Estados Unidos, el 9 de febrero de 1944, siendo la pequeña de ocho hermanos en una humilde familia descendiente de esclavos y cherokees. Cuando tenía doce años perdió un ojo jugando a indios y cowboys con sus hermanos, uno de los cuales le disparó con una escopeta de perdigones. Esta experiencia la marcaría de por vida e influiría, como sus orígenes familiares, profundamente en su obra. Debutó en la literatura con el poemario Once en 1968, pero no fue hasta la publicación de la novela epistolar El color púrpura (1982; Premio Pulitzer y National Book Award 1983) que se consagró como escritora. Además de poeta, narradora y ensayista, Walker destaca por su activismo en favor de los derechos de las mujeres, las minorías étnicas y la liberación sexual.
