Published in conjunction with the PEN American Center, Burn This Book is a powerful collection of essays that explore the meaning of censorship and the power of literature to inform the way we see the world, and ourselves.

Die Wiederentdeckung von Toni Morrisons einziger Erzählung, erstmals 1983 erschienen und nie zuvor ins Deutsche übersetzt, ist eine literarische Sensation und enthält die Quintessenz ihres Schaffens. Die Nobelpreisträgerin spielt darin mit unserer Wahrnehmung: Von Beginn an wissen wir, dass eine der beiden Hauptfiguren schwarz ist und die andere weiß - doch welche ist welche? Twyla und Roberta begegnen sich als Achtjährige im Kinderheim. Sie werden Vertraute, geben einander Halt und Trost. Sie sind unzertrennlich, doch später verlieren sie sich aus den Augen. Zufällig...

Tar Baby
ISBN: 9780394423296 / Angielski / Twarda / 1981 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The author of Song of Solomon now sets her extraordinary novelistic powers on a striking new course. Tar Baby, audacious and hypnotic, is masterful in its mingling of tones--of longing and alarm, of urbanity and a primal, mythic force in which the landscape itself becomes animate, alive with a wild, dark complicity in the fates of the people whose drama unfolds. It is a novel suffused with a tense and passionate inquiry, revealing a whole spectrum of emotions underlying the relationships between black men and women, white men and women, and black and white people. The place...
