Description

Toni Morrison is the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, the first African American to receive this award. One of the most important American writers of the 20th century, she left an indelible mark on world literature forever. Toni Morrison has an extraordinary ability to infuse the essence of a country and an era into each of her novels. “Beloved” embodies the hardships and pain of 19th-century America—the time when slavery was more terrifying than death. The story of the enslaved woman Sethe, as Morrison depicts it, is about fear, tragedy, and a choice that is sometimes so difficult to make. But above all, as with all her books, it’s about unconditional, boundless love. Because nothing in the world is stronger than a mother’s love. “Beloved” is one of Morrison’s most famous novels, for which, in 1988, the writer received the Pulitzer Prize.
