A box set of Toni
Morrison's principal works, featuring The Bluest Eye (her
first novel), Beloved (Pulitzer Prize winner), and Song of
Solomon (National Book Critics Award winner).
Staring
unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, Beloved transforms
history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a
lullaby. This spellbinding novel tells the story of Sethe, a former
slave who escapes to Ohio, but eighteen years later is still not
free.
In
The New York Times bestselling novel, The Bluest Eye, Pecola
Breedlove, a young black girl, prays every day for beauty and yearns
for normalcy, for the blond hair and blue eyes, that she believes
will allow her to finally fit in. Yet as her dream grows more
fervent, her life slowly starts to disintegrate in the face of
adversity and strife.
With
Song of Solomon, Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story
as she follows Milkman Dead from his rustbelt city to the place of
his family's origins, introducing an entire cast of strivers and
seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized
black world.
This
beautifully designed slipcase will make the perfect holiday and
perennial gift.
