About this listen
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 Pulitzery del National Book Award en 1983, se convierte en símbolo de una lucha que aún a día de hoy no hemos acabado de librar.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Una de las más talentosas escritoras estadounidenses.»
Isabel Allende
«Una novela siempre vigente.»
Newsweek
«Alice Walker es una escritora maravillosamente dotada.»
The New York Times Book Review
«El color púrpura sitúa a Walker a la altura de Faulkner.»
The Nation
«Genial. Un libro para enmarcar junto a los clásicos de la literatura de todos los tiempos.»
San Francisco Chronicle

La historia comienza a miles de años en el futuro, en un gran imperio galáctico dividido en cuasi-feudos controlados por familias nobles. La clave para el control del Imperio se encuentra en Arrakis, un planeta desértico también conocido como Dune. El protagonista de la historia es el joven Paul Atreides, heredero del ducado de la Casa de los Atreides. Su padre, Leto Atreides, recibe de pronto la orden de trasladarse a Arrakis, y Paul deberá enfrentarse, por un lado, al emperador y, por otro, a sus antiguos enemigos, la Casa de los Harkonnen.

Story
El mundo como lo conocemos ha desaparecido después del gran apagón y de varias crisis climáticas. Apenas hay animales ni naturaleza y pocas personas han sobrevivido. Varias mujeres llegaron a una suerte de convento buscando refugio y han sido captadas por una secta religiosa. Una de ellas cuenta esta historia, escrita a escondidas noche tras noche para que alguien sepa todo lo que pasa entre esas paredes: torturas, sacrificios y ceremonias terroríficas en nombre de la iluminación. Se encuentran bajo el mando estricto de la Hermana Superior, por encima de quien solo se erige “Él”.

Corren los años veinte del siglo pasado y descubrimos a la pequeña Francie Nolan leyendo sentada en la escalera antiincendios de su casa, a la sombra de un árbol que solo crece en los barrios más pobres de las grandes ciudades. Poco a poco, la mirada se aleja de la chiquilla para abarcar a la estrafalaria familia Nolan, que malvive en un barrio de Brooklyn. Conoceremos así a sus padres, a su hermano y a la entrañable tía Sissy, que usa a los hombres para aplacar sus instintos maternales.

Todos los días friego la preciosa casa de los Winchester de arriba abajo. Recojo a su hija del colegio y preparo deliciosas comidas para toda la familia antes de subir a cenar sola en mi minúscula habitación del piso superior. Intento no prestar atención a Nina cuando lo ensucia todo simplemente para ver cómo lo limpio. A las extrañas mentiras que cuenta sobre su propia hija. A su marido, que cada día parece más abatido. Pero cuando miro a Andrew a los ojos, castaños, encantadores y llenos de dolor, no me resulta difícil imaginar cómo sería vivir en la piel de Nina.

Story
Hace treinta años, en un terreno baldío de un barrio tranquilo, apareció descuartizado y quemado el cadáver de una adolescente. La investigación se cerró sin culpables y su familia -de clase media educada, formal y católica- silenciosamente se fue resquebrajando Pero, pasado ese largo tiempo, la verdad oculta saldrá a la luz gracias al persistente amor del padre de la víctima. Esa verdad mostrará con crudeza lo que se esconde detrás de las apariencias; la crueldad a la que pueden llevar la obediencia y el fanatismo religioso.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
