Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Seventeenth Printing, October 1993, w/NOBEL PRIZE in Literature gold sticker on front cover. Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. Bright & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. Erstwhile remainder red line on top edge, o/w unmarked. "It is the story--set in post-Civil War Ohio--of Sethe, an escaped slave who has risked death in order to wrench herself from a living death; who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad: a woman of 'iron eyes and backbone to match.' Sethe lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing intruder who calls herself Beloved. [] Sethe works at 'beating back the past,' but it is alive in all of them. It keeps Denver fearful of straying from the house. It fuels the sadness that has settled into Baby Suggs' 'desolated center where the self that was no self made its home.' And to Sethe, the past makes itself heard and felt incessantly: in memories that both haunt and soothe her . . . in the arrival of Paul D ('There was something blessed in his manner. Women saw him and wanted to weep'), one of her fellow slaves on the farm where she had once been kept . . . in the vivid and painfully cathartic stories she and Paul D tell each other of their years in captivity, of their glimpses of freedom . . . and, most powerfully, in the apparition of Beloved, whose eyes are expressionless at their deepest point, whose doomed childhood belongs to the hideous logic of slavery and who, as daughter, sister and seductress, has now come from the 'place over there' to claim retribution for what she lost and for what was taken from her. [] Sethe's struggle to keep Beloved from gaining full possession of her present--and to throw off the long, dark legacy of her past--is at the center of this profoundly affecting and startling novel. But its intensity and resonance of feeling, and the boldness of its narrative, lift it beyond its particulars so that it speaks to our experience as an entire nation with a past of both abominable and ennobling circumstance. [] In BELOVED, Toni Morrison has given us a great American novel." [jacket copy] "Toni Morrison's finest work. . . . It sets her apart and displays her prodigious talent."--Chicago Sun-Times. "In her most probing novel, Toni Morrison has demonstrated once again the stunning powers that place her in the first ranks of our living novelists."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "There is something great in BELOVED: a play of human voices, consciously exalted, perversely stressed, yet holding true. It gets you."--The New Yorker. "A book worth many rereadings."--Glamour. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright & intact NF jacket. Quite presentable.

Beloved is a 1987 novel by American novelist Toni Morrison. Set in the period after the American Civil War, the novel tells the story of a dysfunctional family of formerly enslaved people whose Cincinnati home is haunted by a malevolent spirit. The narrative of Beloved derives from the life of Margaret Garner, an enslaved person in the slave state of Kentucky who escaped and fled to the free state of Ohio in 1856.Garner was subject to capture under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, and when U.S. marshals broke into the cabin where she and her children had barricaded themselves, she was attempting to kill her childrenand had already killed her youngest daughterin hopes of sparing them from being returned to slavery. Morrison's main inspiration for the novel was an account of the event titled "A Visit to the Slave Mother who Killed Her Child" in an 1856 newspaper article initially published in the American Baptist and reproduced in The Black Book, an anthology of texts of Black history and culture that Morrison had edited in 1974.[1]The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction a year after its publication, and was a finalist for the 1987 National Book Award.[2][3] A survey of writers and literary critics compiled by The New York Times ranked it as the best work of American fiction from 1981 to 2006.[4] It was adapted as a 1998 movie of the same name, starring Oprah Winfrey. The book's dedication reads "Sixty Million and more", referring to the Africans and their descendants who died as a result of the Atlantic slave trade.[5] The book's epigraph is Romans 9:25. (Wikipedia) Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page.

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the first blank, "For Nancy. Best wishes, Toni Morrison". Beloved is Morrison's most acclaimed work and earned her the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A film adaptation, starring Oprah Winfrey, was released in 1998. Writing in the New York Times, John Irving described the work as "another triumph" and praised Morrison's "versatility and technical and emotional range [which] appear to know no bounds. Beloved is written in an antiminimalist prose that is by turns rich, graceful, eccentric, rough, lyrical, sinuous, colloquial and very much to the point" (29 March 1987). Octavo. Original cream cloth, spine lettering and front cover decoration in silver, publisher's device on rear cover in blind. With dust jacket. Cloth lightly mottled, foxing to top edge, faint endpaper offsetting, contents clean; jacket slightly creased, mild toning to spine and upper edges, colours bright, unclipped: a very good copy in like jacket.
