內容簡介

內容簡介 宣告一位文壇巨匠誕生的經典作品諾貝爾文學獎得主童妮‧摩里森首部小說《最藍的眼睛》是諾貝爾文學獎得主童妮‧摩里森的第一部小說，故事以摩里森的家鄉俄亥俄州樂仁鎮為背景，敘述十一歲的黑人女孩琵可拉祈求自己的眼睛能夠變藍，以便看起來像金髮碧眼的孩子那樣漂亮，那樣討人喜愛。琵可拉以為這樣的改變能使其人生從此不同：父親不再酗酒；母親不再蔑視家人；哥哥不再離家出走；其他人不再欺侮她、忽略她。然而，發生在她身上的一件駭人事件，讓全鎮的金盞花不見蹤影，也使她的人生走向悲劇性毀滅。書裡不僅深刻描繪出有所渴盼的孩童心中所存在的懼怕與孤獨，更藉由一個以他人眼光來判定自我價值的極端例子，披露種族主義對黑人族群的殘害，批判盲目追求主流價值觀將導致自我迷失，帶給讀者強烈的警惕與震撼。本書在美國自1970年出版後持續引發探討，並已堂堂入列經典小說之林。本中文書介出自《最藍的眼睛》臺灣商務印書館股份有限公司出版Stunningly-designed new editions of Toni Morrison’s best-known novels, published by Vintage Classics in celebration of her life and work.WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS, AUTHOR OF QUEENIEPecola Breedlove longs for blond hair and blue eyes, so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America.
