WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY NAMWALI SERPELL, AUTHOR OF THE OLD DRIFT
As young girls in a poor but close-knit community, Nel and Sula are inseparable. But their paths as adults couldn't be more different: while Nel settles in town to raise a family, Sula escapes for the progressive ideals of the big city. When Sula reappears ten years later, she comes face to face with a community whose values are at odds with her fierce individualism and rebellious ways. Reunited, Nel and Sula must confront the consequences of their actions and the dreadful secret they shared in childhood.
Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. Terrifying, comic and tragic, Sula overflows with love and life, friendship and betrayal.

Umieramy. Być może to właśnie stanowi sens życia. Ale tworzymy język. Być może to jest miarą naszego życia. Pierwszy w Polsce wybór esejów, przemówień i medytacji Toni Morrison. To zbiór błyskotliwych, osobistych, ale i zaskakująco aktualnych tekstów doskonałe połączenie jej literackiego geniuszu z refleksją nad kondycją współczesnego świata. Noblistka podejmuje sporne kwestie społeczne: praw człowieka, rasy, płci, podziałów i wykluczeń. Skupia uwagę na osobach czarnych, kobietach, cudzoziemcach, nie pomijając tematów dotykających nas na co dzień: globalizacji, poczucia obcości i osamotnienia czy wojny. Przygląda się sprawom kultury: roli artysty_ki w społeczeństwie, wyobraźni literackiej, a w wykładzie noblowskim sile języka. Zostawia tak...
What's the world for you if you can't make it up the way you want it?' Joe Trace - in his fifties, door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, erstwhile devoted husband - shoots dead his lover of three months, the impetuous, eighteen-year-old Dorcas. At the funeral, his determined, hard-working wife, Violet, who is given to stumbling into dark mental cracks, tries with a knife to disfigure the corpse. Passionate and profound, Jazz brings us back and forth in time, in a narrative assembled from the hopes, fears and realities of black urban life. VINTAGE DECO: Nine blazing, daring novels to celebrate the 1920s - 100 years on.
Debiutancka powieść Toni Morrison – pierwszej czarnej kobiety uhonorowanej Nagrodą Nobla w dziedzinie literatury – w nowym tłumaczeniu Kai Gucio. Największym marzeniem jedenastoletniej Pecoli Breedlove jest posiadanie niebieskich oczu jak pozostałe amerykańskie jasnowłose dzieci. Dziewczynka wierzy, że jeśli jej oczy zmienią kolor, zyska akceptację rówieśników i nikt nie będzie zwracał uwagi na jej kolor skóry. Jesienią 1941 roku nagietki w przydomowym ogródku rodziny Breedlove nie kiełkują. Pecola jeszcze nie wie, że ten niepozorny fenomen jest początkiem bolesnych wydarzeń, które zniszczą jej dotychczasowe życie. Opowiedziana z perspektywy kilku narratorów, częściowo oparta na prawdziwych wydarzeniach historia Pecoli jest pierwszą powieścią Morrison,...
Twyla and Roberta have known each other since they were eight years old, when they were thrown together as roommates in a girls' shelter. Inseparable then, they lose touch as they grow older, only to meet again later at a diner, a grocery store and then at a protest. The two women are seemingly at opposite ends of every problem but, despite their conflict, the deep bond their shared experience has forged between them is undeniable. Recitatif keeps Twyla's and Roberta's races ambiguous throughout the story. We know that one is white and one is black, but which is which? And who is right about the race of the woman the girls tormented at the orphanage? This story is a masterful exploration of what keeps us together and what keeps us apart, of race and the relationships that shape our lives....

They are concerned with race, gender and globalisation. The sweep of American history and the current state of politics. The duty of the press and the role of the artist. Throughout Mouth Full of Blood our search for truth, moral integrity and expertise is met by Toni Morrison with controlled anger, elegance and literary excellence. The collection is structured in three parts and these are heart-stoppingly introduced by a prayer for the dead of 9/11, a meditation on Mar...
W tej uroczo przewrotnej reinterpretacji klasycznej bajki, tandem Morrisonów i Pascal Lemaitre biorą na warsztat problem tyranii. Buńczuczny lew, samozwańczy król stworzeń, `zły jak żaden zwierz`, uważa się za niezwyciężonego - aż do chwili, gdy cierń wbija mu się w łapę. Wówczas pomóc mu może jedynie słaba, mała mysz - w zamian za co lew będzie musiał cierpliwie znosić nienasycone mysie zapędy do władzy.
