The Cushion in the Road
This gorgeous collection gathers Alice Walker’s wide-ranging meditations—many of them previously unpublished—on our intertwined personal, spiritual, and political destinies. For the millions of her devoted fans, and for readers of Walker’s bestselling 2006 book, We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For, here is a brand new "gift of words" that invites readers on a journey of political awakening and spiritual insight. The Cushion in the Road finds the Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist, poet, essayist, and activist at the height of her literary powers, sharing fresh vantages and a deepening engagement with our world. Walker writes that "we are beyond a rigid category of color, sex, or spirituality if we are truly alive," and the pieces in The Cushion in the Road illustrate this idea beautifully. Visiting themes she has addressed throughout her career—including racism, Africa, Palestinian solidarity, and Cuba—as well as addressing emergent issues, such as the presidency of Barack Obama on health care, Walker explores her conflicting impulses to retreat into inner contemplation and to remain deeply engaged with the world. Rich with humor and wisdom, and informed by Walker’s unique eye for the details of human and natural experience, The Cushion in the Road will please longtime Walker fans as well as those who are new to her work.

The Third Life of Grange Copeland

release date: Nov 22, 2011
The Third Life of Grange Copeland
From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Color Purple: A “moving, tender” novel of a Deep South tenant farmer’s quest for a new life (Publishers Weekly). Grange Copeland, a deeply conflicted and struggling tenant farmer in the Deep South of the 1930s, leaves his family and everything he’s ever known to find happiness and respect in the cold cities of the North. This misadventure, his “second life,” proves a dismal failure that sends him back where he came from to confront his now-grown-up son’s disastrous relationships with his own family, including Grange’s granddaughter, Ruth Copeland, a child that Grange grows to love. Love becomes the substance of his third and final life. He spends it in devotion to Ruth, teaching and protecting her—though the cost of doing so is almost more than he can bear. From a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, this is an “honest sensitive tale . . . leavened by those moments of humor and warmth that have enabled men and women to endure so much tragedy” (Chicago Daily News). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Overcoming Speechlessness

release date: Apr 06, 2010
Overcoming Speechlessness
In 2006, Alice Walker, working with Women for Women International, visited Rwanda and the eastern Congo to witness the aftermath of the genocide in Kigali. Invited by Code Pink, an antiwar group working to end the Iraq War, Walker traveled to Palestine/Israel three years later to view the devastation on the Gaza Strip. Here is her testimony. Bearing witness to the depravity and cruelty, she presents the stories of the individuals who crossed her path and shared their tales of suffering and courage. Part of what has happened to human beings over the last century, she believes, is that we have been rendered speechless by unusually barbaric behavior that devalues human life. We have no words to describe what we witness. Self-imposed silence has slowed our response to the plight of those who most need us, often women and children, but also men of conscience who resist evil but are outnumbered by those around them who have fallen victim to a belief in weapons, male or ethnic dominance, and greed.

Meridian and The Third Life of Grange Copeland

release date: Sep 18, 2018
Meridian and The Third Life of Grange Copeland
The highly acclaimed first two novels by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple and “a lavishly gifted writer” (The New York Times Book Review). The first African American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in 1983 for The Color Purple—which also won the National Book Award and was adapted into both an award–winning film starring Whoopi Goldberg and a Tony Award–winning Broadway musical—New York Times–bestselling author Alice Walker is without question “one of [our] best American writers” (The Washington Post). Before her success with The Color Purple, Walked penned the two powerful and unforgettable novels collected here. Meridian: This “classic novel of both feminism and the Civil Rights movement” is the story of Meridian Hill, who, as she approaches the end of her teen years, has already married, divorced, and given birth to a son (Ms. Magazine). She’s looking for a second chance, and at a small college outside Atlanta, Georgia, in the early 1960s, she becomes involved in the Civil Rights movement. So fully does the cause guide her life that she’s willing to sacrifice virtually anything to help transform the conditions of a people whose subjugation she shares. “Beautifully presented and utterly convincing.” —The New Yorker “A fine, taut novel . . . Remarkable.” —The New York Times Book Review The Third Life of Grange Copeland: In Walker’s debut novel, Grange Copeland, a deeply conflicted and struggling tenant farmer in the Deep South of the 1930s, leaves his family and everything he’s ever known to find happiness and respect in the cold cities of the North. This misadventure, his “second life,” proves a dismal failure that sends him back where he came from to confront his now-grown-up son’s disastrous relationships with his own family, including Grange’s granddaughter, Ruth Copeland, a child Grange grows to love. Love becomes the substance of his third and final life. He spends it in devotion to Ruth, teaching and protecting her—though the cost of doing so is almost more than he can bear. “[A] splendid novel.” —Chicago Tribune “A solid, honest sensitive tale . . . leavened by those moments of humor and warmth that have enabled men and women to endure so much tragedy.” —Chicago Daily News

The Chicken Chronicles

release date: May 10, 2011
The Chicken Chronicles
A “life-affirmative and eccentrically inspirational” collection from the National Book Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple (Kirkus Reviews). In these glorious, offbeat, and compassionate tales, one of America’s preeminent authors shares her experiences raising and caring for a flock of affectionately named chickens. Walker addresses her “girls” directly, sometimes from the intimate proximity of her yard, other times at a great distance, during her travels to Bali and Dharamsala as an activist for peace and justice. On the way, she invites readers along on a surprising journey of spiritual discovery. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, The Chicken Chronicles lets us see a new and deeply personal side of one of the most captivating writers of our time. In turn, Walker has created a powerful touchstone for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world. “Heartfelt, thought-provoking ruminations on sustenance from perspectives of both giver and receiver.” —Library Journal “Walker’s sage, compassionate memoir is meant to be savored and contemplated.” —Kirkus Reviews

Generations Women in the South

Generations Women in the South
The time has come, Lillian Smith wrote in 1962, for women to risk the "great and daring creative act" of discovering and articulating their own identity. Three years later, Southern women of a younger generation, fortified by the skills and self-respect earned in the black civil-rights movement, issued the first manifesto of a new feminism. Their words landed with explosive force, setting off cultural reverberations which have shaken the lives of men and women alike. A little more than a decade after that, this issue of Southern Exposure began to take form. Its creation has taken us back into history and deep into the meaning of our own lives. As we set out to understand the situation of Southern women, we found ourselves "in search of our mothers'' gardens." We found ourselves naming an experience we share across the generations. "So many of the stories that I write," Alice Walker discovered, "are my mother''s stories." To speak in our own voices, we had first to give expression to a "promise song" that has been there all along.

O templo dos meus familiares

release date: May 06, 2024
O templo dos meus familiares
Escrito logo após A cor púrpura, o aclamado romance de Alice Walker O templo dos meus familiares estreia na José Olympio com nova tradução depois de quase 30 anos fora das prateleiras. Em O templo dos meus familiares, Alice Walker nos apresenta povos cuja história é antiga e cujo futuro ainda está por vir. Escrito logo após A cor púrpura, livro vencedor do Pulitzer e do American Book Award, este romance contribuiu para consagrar Walker como uma das escritoras mais importantes dos Estados Unidos. Aqui conhecemos Lissie, uma mulher de muitas vidas; Zedé, uma professora latino-americana condenada por apoiar a revolução de seu país, mas que foge para São Francisco após dar à luz sua filha Carlotta; Arveyda, o grande músico com quem Carlotta tem uma forte conexão, por ambos serem imigrantes; Suwelo, um historiador, e sua ex-esposa Fanny, que se apaixona por espíritos e está em busca da própria libertação. Orbitando essas histórias, estão as avós de Fanny: Celie e Shug, as amadas personagens de A cor púrpura. Definido pela própria autora como "um romance dos últimos 500 mil anos", O templo dos meus familiares entrelaça o passado e o presente numa complexa tapeçaria de histórias, explorando, com traços do realismo mágico, os temas do colonialismo, da opressão e da recuperação espiritual. "Brilhante [...]. Parte romance, parte história visionária, parte tratado revolucionário, este livro vai encantar, chocar [...] e inspirar os fãs de Alice Walker." — USA Today "Uma das melhores escritoras estadunidenses da atualidade." — Washington Post "Uma celebração da vida e das emoções cotidianas." — Los Angeles Times "Alice Walker é uma escritora extraordinariamente talentosa." — New York Times

A cor púrpura

release date: Nov 16, 2018
A cor púrpura
Um clássico da literatura. Um importante manifesto. Um clássico da literatura americana, aclamado pela crítica e amado por sucessivas gerações de leitores. Tão relevante hoje quanto no ano da sua publicação, é umaextraordinária peça de ficção que combate o ódio, a desigualdade e a violência, ao mesmo tempo que celebra o amor pela vida. « Uma exuberante celebração do que significa ser mulher.» Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Celie, de 14 anos, escreve cartas a Deus para tentar compreender o que lhe está a acontecer. Órfã de mãe, abusada pelo homem a quem chama "pai", separada da irmã, Netie, privada dos dois filhos e oferecida em casamento a um homem que a maltrata, considera-se «uma negra, pobre e feia". Até que conhece Sugar, a amante do marido. Com a ajuda de Sugar, «a mulher mais linda» que ela viu na vida, Celie descobre não só o paradeiro da irmã desaparecida mas também o próprio corpo, o prazer, o amor e, acima de tudo, a sua voz. Romance epistolar composto pelas cartas que Celie endereça a Deus com uma honestidade brutal e pelos relatos de viagem que Nettie lhe envia de uma missão em África, A Cor Púrpura aborda temas como a violência brutal a que estavam sujeitas as mulheres negras no início do século XX, a relação dos negros com o seu passado de escravatura, e a busca do espiritual num mundo cruel e sem sentido. Galardoado com o prémio Pulitzer e com o National Book Award para o melhor livro de ficção, A Cor Púrpura foi adaptado ao cinema em 1985 por Steven Spielberg e nomeado para 11 Óscares. Os elogios da crítica: «Alice Walker é uma escritora maravilhosamente talentosa.» — The New York Times Book Review «A cor púrpura coloca Walker á altura de Faulkner.» — The Nation «Um romance sempre em vigor.» — Newsweek «Óptimo. Um livro para colocar entre os clássicos da literatura de todos os tempos.» — San Francisco Chronicle «Um livro que genuinamente nos faz pensar.» — Guardian «Uma fábula para o mundo moderno.» — Washington Post «Um livro impressionante e brilhantemente concebido. . . uma saga cheia de alegria e dor, humor e amargura, e uma série de personagens que vivem, respiram e iluminam o mundo das mulheres negras.» — Publishers Weekly «A cor púrpura é uma celebração exuberante de tudo o que significa ser mulher, ser uma mulher negra e gostar das melhores celebrações, é honesta. A honestidade de Alice Walker neste livro é combativa, implacável e redentora. É dessa honestidade que surge a amargura e, no entanto, a amargura nunca macula a humanidade da visão de Walker. Adoro que A cor púrpura não tente amenizar seus golpes, mas também seja corajoso o suficiente para manter uma fé maravilhosamente afirmativa na possibilidade, no perdão, na bondade e na esperança.» — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie «Uma das escritoras americanas mais talentosas.» — Isabel Allende «Às vezes engraçado, principalmente comovente e ainda enfeitiçado com um encanto de conto de fadas, A cor púrpura aborda bravamente questões sociais e deve ser leitura obrigatória para todos, especialmente para aqueles que ainda optam por fechar os olhos aos abusos e violências cometidos por conta do sexismo e racismo.» — Open Road Review Magazine

El color púrpura / The Color Purple

release date: Oct 23, 2018
El color púrpura / The Color Purple
Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read. Un clásico del feminismo y la lucha contra el racismo del siglo XX. Esta es la historia de dos hermanas: Nettie, que ejerce como misionera en África, y Celie, que vive en el Sur de Estados Unidos, casada con un hombre al que odia y abrumada por la vergüenza de haber sido violada por quien cree que es su padre. A lo largo de treinta años ambas mantienen el recuerdo y la esperanza de reencontrarse y vuelcan sus sentimientos en unas cartas conmovedoras. Pero la dramática existencia de Celie cambiará cuando entre en su vida la amante de su marido, una extraordinaria mujer llama Shug Avery. Alice Walker traza en esta ya clásica historia, narrada en formato epistolar, un crudo y sin embargo bello relato del abuso hacia las mujeres y la comunidad afroamericana en los Estados Unidos de la primera mitad del siglo XX. El relato de ambas hermanas, merecedor del Premio Pulitzer y del National Book Award en 1983, se convierte en símbolo de una lucha que aún a día de hoy no hemos acabado de librar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this novel about a resilient and courageous woman has become a Broadway show and a cultural phenomenon. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters, spanning twenty years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women. She meets Shug Avery, her husband’s mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life, and her stepson’s wife, Sophia, who challenges her to fight for independence. And though the many letters from Celie’s sister are hidden by her husband, Nettie’s unwavering support will prove to be the most breathtaking of all. The Color Purple has sold more than five million copies, inspired an Academy Award–nominated film starring Oprah Winfrey and directed by Steven Spielberg, and been adapted into a Tony-nominated Broadway musical. Lauded as a literary masterpiece, this is the groundbreaking novel that placed Walker “in the company of Faulkner” (The Nation), and remains a wrenching—yet intensely uplifting—experience for new generations of readers.

A terceira vida de Grange Copeland

release date: Oct 19, 2020
A terceira vida de Grange Copeland
Primeiro livro da autora de A cor púrpura, inédito no Brasil. A terceira vida de Grange Copeland, primeiro livro de Alice Walker — vencedora do Prêmio Pulitzer de 1983 pelo livro A cor púrpura —, revela o cotidiano de uma família negra no Sul dos Estados Unidos, por três gerações. Oprimido pela estrutura racista do condado de Baker, o trabalhador rural Grange Copeland abandona família e amante para ganhar a vida no Norte, mas retorna, após passar por experiências transformadoras, decidido a nunca mais conviver com pessoas brancas. Grange refaz sua vida, torna-se fazendeiro, mas tem que lidar com as consequências de suas escolhas no passado. Escrito com linguagem poderosa e precisa, o livro trata de violência — racial, social, familiar, contra a mulher —, mas também da força humana, capaz de mudar uma realidade inóspita por meio do amor e da ação no mundo. Para a escritora Jarid Arraes, que assina a orelha do livro, "Alice Walker é corajosa. Aborda temas profundamente delicados e tabus dentro da própria comunidade negra. Escreve com a fome de quem precisa contar mais do que a realidade: precisa da crueza, da ferida mais inflamada e difícil de tratar. Esta obra é, em primeiro lugar, literatura para quem não teme a honestidade do espelho, as perguntas dolorosas e o grotesco." "Quase ninguém tentou nos contar sobre o início da vida, sobre a vida íntima das pessoas negras [...]. Alice Walker é uma contadora de histórias." – The New Yorker "Alice Walker nos comove ao enfatizar a humanidade que compartilhamos com seus personagens [...]. Uma narrativa densa, honesta e sensível [...] atenuada pelos momentos de humor e afeto que ajudaram homens e mulheres a suportar tanta tragédia [...]. Walker parece segura em deixar que narrativa, caracterização e acontecimentos, a alma de um romance, falem por si mesmos." – Chicago Daily News

Box A Cor Púrpura

release date: May 20, 2024
Box A Cor Púrpura
Box inédito reúne três grandes romances de Alice Walker, incluindo sua obra-prima, A cor púrpura, vencedor do Pulitzer e do American Book Award, adaptado pela segunda vez para o cinema. Este box apresenta três momentos da produção de Alice Walker uma das mais importantes escritoras da atualidade: A cor púrpura, O templo dos meus familiares e O segredo da alegria. Em A cor púrpura, ambientado no Sul dos Estados Unidos, entre os anos 1900 e 1940, conhecemos a história de Celie, mulher negra, pobre e semianalfabeta. Brutalizada desde a infância, a jovem foi estuprada pelo padrasto e forçada a se casar com Albert, um viúvo violento, pai de quatro filhos, que enxergava a esposa como uma serviçal e fazia dos sofrimentos físicos e morais sua rotina. O romance, escrito em forma de cartas, recebeu o Pulitzer e o American Book Award e inspirou a obra-prima cinematográfica homônima dirigida por Steven Spielberg e o aclamado musical da Broadway, adaptado para o cinema em 2023. O templo dos meus familiares, definido pela própria autora como "um romance dos últimos 500 mil anos", entrelaça o passado e o presente numa complexa tapeçaria de histórias, explorando, com traços do realismo mágico, os temas do colonialismo, da opressão e da recuperação espiritual. Nessa história, conhecemos Lissie, uma mulher de muitas vidas; Zedé, uma professora latino-americana condenada por apoiar a revolução de seu país, mas que foge para São Francisco após dar à luz sua filha Carlotta; Arveyda, o grande músico com quem Carlotta tem uma forte conexão, por ambos serem imigrantes; Suwelo, um historiador, e sua ex-esposa Fanny, que se apaixona por espíritos e está em busca da própria libertação. Orbitando esses personagens, estão as avós de Fanny: Celie e Shug, as amadas personagens de A cor púrpura. Em O segredo da alegria, Alice Walker dá mais uma prova do poder da ficção em fascinar e revelar a todos nós um pouco do mistério da resistência e da felicidade frente a opressão e a angústia. Na obra, o desejo de honrar suas tradições faz com que Tashi – que surge inicialmente em A cor púrpura, representando o povo ficcional africano Olinka – busque a própria mutilação genital. A escolha corajosa, no entanto, revela o início de um doloroso processo físico e psíquico que irá envolver todos aqueles tocados por sua trajetória. Os caminhos tortuosos da mente de Tashi serão responsáveis por levar as personagens e seus leitores por uma batalha representativa até o mito de origem da opressão das mulheres.
