Publicado com sucesso nos Estados Unidos, o romance A Cor Púrpura tornou-se conhecido, principalmente, após a adaptação para o cinema por Steven Spielberg, num filme estrelado por Whoopi Goldberg (Celie) e Oprah Winfrey (Sofia). A personagem principal, Celie, negra, semianalfabeta, no sul dos Estados Unidos, vive entre cuidar da família e planeja uma história diferente da sua para a irmã, Nettie. Acompanhamos sua vida por mais de trinta anos, por meio das cartas que escreve para Deus e, posteriormente, para a irmã. Em oposição à solidão, pobreza, brutalidade e violência, Celie vai descobrir outras maneiras de sentir.

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."
