    About this ebook

    Written by Scribd Editors

    The Color Purple by Alice Walker depicts the lives of poor African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Celie has grown up abused by her own family. When her sister Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is alone without her best friend and confidante. She is subsequently married off to an older suitor, who becomes a brutal husband.

    Celie begins writing letters directly to God. Written over a twenty-year period, the letters record Celie’s life journey. She is aided by several strong women she meets, including Shug Avery, her husband’s mistress and jazz singer, and her stepson’s wife, Sophia, who challenges her to battle for her freedom.

    Alice Walker won the Pulitzer Prize and an American Book Award for her novel The Color Purple. She has written numerous poems, essays, and short stories, and lives in northern California.

    The Color Purple addressed the taboo subjects of domestic and sexual abuse, realistically depicting the lives of women through their times of struggle and growth and depicting their bravery under the most trying of circumstances.

    Editor's Note

    An American classic…

    A Pulitzer Prize winner, a film, and a Broadway show, it’s no wonder that “The Color Purple” made it onto the list of America’s favorite books with PBS’s “The Great American Read.” It follows the story of Celie, a poor black woman in rural Georgia, and her attempt to rise above the unlucky hand she’s been dealt.

      I liked this book a lot more than I expected to. It was quite a heartbreaking story all around. I loved Nettie (who was my favorite character) and I really enjoyed hearing about her trip to Africa. I thought it was interesting how the village held the roof plant as a sort of deity. I had a harder time getting through the other chapters because of the way that it was written. It was a good way to create a voice for the character but it was just not my style.

    • 3/5
      Ik heb de film nooit gezien, dus kon ik dit boek onbevangen lezen. Een brievenroman, dat beviel me al meteen; het genre was vooral populair in de tweede helft van de 18de eeuw, en ik vind het nog altijd een heel sterke methode om én een verhaal te vertellen (in stukken en brokken en vanuit verschillende invalshoeken), en vooral de perceptie en de introspectie van de betrokken figuren mooi in de verf te zetten. En dat gebeurt in deze roman zeker ook op een geslaagde manier. Bovendien zijn de thema's best veelzijdig: vrouwenmishandeling, slavernij, racisme, minderwaardigheidscomplex. Walker beperkt zich niet tot een illustratie daarvan, maar toont ook hoe je daar volgens haar mee om kan gaan: groeien door vertrouwen en liefde, de moed om op te staan tegen onrecht, berusting in de wisselvalligheid van het leven, openheid voor al wat mooi en goed is. Een nevenspoor is de relativering van de "terug naar Afrika"-rage onder zwarte Afrikanen. Walker probeert aan te tonen dat dezelfde scheefgroei (racisme, vrouwenverdrukking, achterlijke tradities) even goed onder Afrikanen terug te vinden is.En zo komen we uit bij de belangrijkste schaduwzijde van dit boek: geregeld is Walker iets te belerend, te moraliserend, te educatief, alsof ze haar 'volk' (Afro-amerikanen) wilde heropvoeden. Maar het blijft een mooi verhaal (al had het happy end echt niet gehoeven).
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this one.
    • 5/5
      Powerful, serene, and equal parts tragic and uplifting, it is undeniable that The Color Purple deserves its place among the greatest American books.
    • 5/5
      This was a book that I had to put down from time to time -- to think about what I had read and "inwardly digest" it. I don't think Walker has ever produced anything close to how good this book is.
    • 3/5
      Re-read this book, after having read it for the first time when it first came out. The story is written in the form of letters, at first to God, then to the protagonist's sister Nettie. The vernacular language adds a lot to the tone. Good book, disturbing details, but overall a good read.
    • 3/5
      A moving story about the life of an African American living in pre-war South. Celie narrates the story of her life and all the hardships that encompass her. Alice Walker maintains the Southern flavor with the rural grammar of Celie and the other characters. The setting evolves beautiful scenes with flowers and marvelous fragrances. Food shines throughout the story, even though the families seem dirt poor. The friendship of the women cement the story, with their protection of one another. Alice Walker shows sub-human, mostly crazed animals as the men in the story. No man stands as a likeable character. The story concludes with all the loose ends sweetly tied.
    • 5/5
      What can I say about THE COLOR PURPLE? Wow. It's the ultimate story of survival, even when everything in life is stacked against you. When Celie tells her sister Nettie to write, and Nettie responds "Nothing but death can keep me from it!" well, that's when the tears start flowing. I've loved this book for 25 years, and just recently did I get a chance to listen to it on audio. It's narrated by the author herself, Alice Walker, and her voice was perfect for Celie. I enjoyed it so much, and I think everyone should give this book a read or listen. Powerful!
    • 4/5
      Compelling reading for the challenging subjects of child sexual abuse, desertion of children, genital mutilation, African American livesin the rural South, Africa after slavery, and more -Alice Walker deals with all of this while unfolding Celie's existence and awakening in many beautiful and unexpected ways.She does not flinch from delivering no decent males until Samuel and Adam, with God and Love in their hearts, step up.Book would flow better if "Mr. ___________" was simply replaced by "Mr. (any name or letter)."
    • 3/5
      This book is written as a series of letters. First, Celie, a poor black girl is writing letters to God, then later, she writes them to her sister Nettie. Shen never gets replies to the letters so they are more narrative than conversational. Celie is raped and abused by her stepfather, then later married off to a man who also abuses her. She meets and falls in love with Shug, the woman her husband loves, and Shug helps Celie learn that she is a worthwhile person. Later in the book, we learn that Mr._____, Celie's husband, has been hiding Nettie's letters and when she finds them, she begins reading them and we learn her sister's story as well. The stories intertwine and through them we see all the characters in the story grow and change and go through a lifetime of hurts and healings and emotions.I like that the characters are neither all good nor all bad, but rather just human.
    • 3/5
      I didn't get on with this book as well as I thought I would.It reads like a monologue, and seemed to take a long time to say a few things.The good bits for me were when the characters spoke about the wrongs that had been done to them. This seemed to capture the feelings quite well, and better than other stories like The Help that I've recently read.Other that that though it's not terribly memorable for me.
    • 5/5
      This is a book about a black woman who had suffered serial rape by a man called himself as her father , then had two children who were taken away from her. Then she ran into a bad marriage , her husband treated her as a slave. This is very sad, but she never gave up, found out someone who truly loved her and had happy ending.
    • 4/5
      Great book, great story, amazing characters.I really liked the diary and letter style that the book uses; it really helps you to get to know Celie and her sister very closely, and let's you share in their troubles and emotions. I found the beginning very touching and very convincing, but thought the ending wasn't as strong.
    • 5/5
      "The Color Purple" is one of the strongest statements of how love transforms and cruelty disfigures the human spirit that this reviewer has ever read. Alice Walker gives us Celie, 14 years old when the book opens, who has been raped, abused, degraded and twice impregnated by her father. After he takes her children away from her without a so much as a word, he marries her off like a piece of chattel to her husband, who is so cold, distant and inhuman to her that she can only refer to him as Mr; and this person deprives her of her sister Nettie, the only one who ever loved her.

      Celie manages to survive by living one day at a time. Her life is a series of flat, lifeless panoramas painted in browns and grays. Into this existence, if you can call it that, comes Shug Avery, her husband's mistress, who shows Celie her own specialness and uniqueness. A lot has been made about lesbianism in this book and all of it is beside the point. Celie isn't a lesbian, she is a human being in need of love and Shug Avery helps Celie realize that she is somebody worth loving and caring about. When Celie hurls her defiance into Mr's face -- "I'm poor, I'm black, I may be ugly... but I'm here", she is making an affirmation not only to him, but to the whole world; the reader can only say, along with Shug Avery, "Amen".

      When Celie finds the strength to leave Mr, he is left to face the reality of himself and what he sees isn't pretty; his transformation humanizes him and allows Celie to call him Albert, recognizing him as a person, as he finally recognizes her as one. The last chapter makes many readers go through half a box of Kleenex (Stephen Spielberg once said in an interview that he "cried and cried at the end" of the book), but Walker doesn't play cheap with the reader's emotions; she has a powerful story to tell and she tells it with such consummate skill and sensitivity that she brings us into it and makes it ours. This is a book to be treasured and read over and over again.
    • 5/5
      This book was so incredibly moving, that I was actually crying through the last few chapters. It is a very sad, very heartbreaking book, but it is also very hopeful.

      I really liked the discussions Celie had with her husband about God and the purpose of life towards the end of the book, especially this exchange:

      "Anyhow, he say, you know how it is. You ast yourself one question, it lead to fifteen. I start to wonder why us need love. Why us suffer. Why us black. Why us men and women. Where do children really come from. It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period.

      So what you think? I ast.

      I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ast. And that in wondering bout the big things and asting bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, he say, the more I love."

      That to me is just beautiful and dead on.

      This book was really, really incredible. I can really see why it won all the awards it did.
    • 4/5
      The Color Purple is about a black woman named Celie who goes from being abused and raped by her father to abused by her husband, a man she hardly knows. Her story is told by herself through letters to God or, occasionally, her sister. When she meets a singer named Shug, Celie has a sort of coming-of-age and learns how to find joy in life.My favorite part about this book is how uplifting it is, despite all the horrible situations these characters face. Even though Celie is abused by her father, and then later her husband, Shug helps her to find things to be happy about. For me, this helped the story become more complex and realistic. The books I've previously read about abuse are generally negative and have nothing positive to bring a balance to it. And really, I think that's what makes The Color Purple such a classic: it's an important cultural story about African-American life, and everyone can benefit from reading about how Celie transcends her circumstances to become a happy and fulfilled person.The one thing that bothered me a little bit is that I thought the ending was rushed and tacked-on. It was a bit over-the-top happy-go-lucky, which is fine, because I like happy stories, but I think that a little more time could have been spent in resolving the issues.Other than that, it was a great read with a lot of ideas to think about and reflect on, especially those dealing with religion and feminism. As a student teacher, I'm constantly evaluating my personal reading choices to see if they can fit in a classroom, and I definitely can see myself teaching The Color Purple. (Many people do, I know, but now I see why.) I think that everyone needs to read this at least once in their lives. It's beautiful, moving, and full of interesting ideas about how we currently live and how we should live.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic! An absorbing story. Read it in one day and could start re-reading again right this minute.
    • 4/5
      I stayed up all night reading this. I mean, literally. I also cried and cried and cried. It's wonderful and powerful.
    • 5/5
      I have no good reason as to why it has taken me so long to read this book. I kept putting it aside because I saw the movie several times. I thought there would not be much difference between the two. I was totally wrong. The movie was not a total shot in the dark but like in most cases the book is much better. Walker presents her characters with so much clarity. Disappointment and misery were Celie's companions early in life. She was molested repeatedly, forced to marry as a teenager, and torn away from her children and sister. All these tragedies were forced upon her by men which led to her life long disdain for them. There was a certain inner strength that Celie possessed that would not allow you to pity her. The same was true for Sophia. Shug was the most celebrated of the women. She could be likened to a strutting peacock. Behind all that show and celebrity was a weak woman. Of all the characters my opinion of Mr. changed the most. Contrary to how the movie depicted him, Mr. did not remain a lazy, abusive, self centered individual. When faced with severe loneliness, he began to examine his life and made the necessary changes. Mr. and Celie were able to build a friendship later in life which was a true test of the human spirit. Walker did not allow the reader to lose touch with Celie's sister, Nettie. Lives were taking shape and new relationships blossoming in America and Africa all while each sister thinks the other is dead. Even though Nettie and Celie were separated for years and unsure of the other's plight they never gave up hope. Their love saw no end. The Color Purple demonstrated how love will cover a multitude of faults. Walker's writing style reminded me of J. California Cooper. Celie held this story together because she refused to be broken.
    • 2/5
      I don't really understand the hoopla surrounding this book. The blurb on the back was totally misleading. Maybe the movie is better....
    • 4/5
      outstanding; brutal then rewarding
    • 5/5
      One of the best banned books ever.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book about a black girl, Celie and her life struggle with separation from her sister and how she is mistreated by first her father and then her husband and stepchildren. Always a good book to recommend.
    • 5/5
      For those who haven't read the book...There may be a spoiler or two...


      When it came out in the 1980's, like most others, I watched it and fell in love with the movie.

      It wasn't until last year that I picked up this book and attempted to read it. Again, this was a book I wasn't quite sure how I'd feel about it. It took me a bit to get into it because the beginning of the movie was always hard for me to deal with. But once I got past that part, and got further into the story, I really began to love it. And of course, I loved it more than the movie.

      Of course, there were details in the book that wasn't in the movie. And it answered some questions I had...Like, what happened to the man Shug Avery married.

      And what type of relationship Shug and Cellie actually had. And Cellies True feelings for her.

      And I found out that Cellie & Mister actually became friends in the book. {Which they didn't show in the movie}.

      I fell so in love with this book I didn't want it to end. I found myself not really even wanting to watch the movie any more because of it...lol...

      But I still do love the movie....

      Anyone who loved the movie, and maybe even love Alice Walker books but haven't read this one...It's very much worth reading. Or even if you don't like her books and haven't read this one...Its worth reading. I don't like Alice Walkers other books {I've tried reading them and couldn't get into them} but this one will always be on my top 10 favorite books I believe.
    • 3/5
      Aww, I'd love to give this book more stars. I really enjoyed the writing style, and I LOVED the characters. Even the awful ones, because none of them turned out to be one-dimensional in the end. Sign of a great writer, IMO.

      The reason it wasn't a 4 or 5 star-er for me was the chunk in the middle with all the F-words and the fact that it was sexually graphic in places. I'm not even talking the beginning--I was OK with that.... I just hate feeling like I'm a spectator in someone's bedroom. Makes me feel squicky. Had it not been for my awkwardness with all that, I'd be giving this 5 stars, but in the end, I came away feeling like about 3.5.
    • 3/5
      I was much too young when I read this (sixth grade) and it completely traumatized me. Looking back, there were many themes I just didn't understand, but the writing was compelling. The sense of the main character feeling trapped in a situation she didn't know how to get out of was overpowering. It would get more stars, but it was simply excruciatingly sad; even the end couldn't compel me to feel better about this one.
    • 4/5
      This was pretty good book. I found the dialect difficult to grasp at first, and I couldn't connect emotionally with Celie until about half way through the book, which is when the story really picked up. I adored the story of Nettie's journey, and it definitely enhanced the plot. I found the names hard to keep track of at times, and the family connections were insanely complicated, but for the most part, it was good. I expected it to focus a lot on racism, but it was more about the family relationships than anything else. It was a very interesting read, and I thought the ending was very fitting.
    • 5/5
      I don't know where I was the first two times I read The Color Purple, it seems that a lot of the stuff going on just flew right over my head. Maybe I wasn't ready to read Celie's life story. So horrifying what people can do to each other. And uplifting that we all manage to survive and even find a way to thrive.Celie's letters to God, and then her sister Nettie and Nettie's letters to Celie (which are hidden from her by Mr.) tell of a harsh lifetime of rape, incest, misogyny, racism and bullying. Celie thinks that's all she deserves because it's been made clear to her she's not pretty and she better do what the men tell her.It isn't until she meets Shug Avery, the blues singer Mr. is gaga over, that Celie begins to understand that life doesn't have to be that way. Over the years, she begins to understand what love can be, what good sex can be, and eventually, independence and happiness.Nettie's letters from Africa are heartbreaking in so many ways, mostly because we (the readers) know that Celie isn't getting them in a timely fashion. Nettie, too finds love, independence and happiness.In the end, I wept a little to see the end of their struggles and the happiness they find in each other.
