Beschreibung
BY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OFBELOVED
Toni Morrisons debut novel immerses us in the tragic, torn lives of a poor black family Pauline, Cholly, Sam and Pecola in post-Depression 1940s Ohio. Unlovely and unloved, Pecola prays each night for blue eyes like those of her privileged white schoolfellows. At once intimate and expansive, unsparing in its truth-telling,The Bluest Eyeshows how the past savagely defines the present.
Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction
