内容简介

Celie is a poor black woman whose letters tell the story of 20 years of her life, beginning at age 14 when she is being abused and raped by her father and attempting to protect her sister from the same fate, and continuing over the course of her marriage to "Mister," a brutal man who terrorizes her. Celie eventually learns that her abusive husband has been keeping her sister's letters from her and the rage she feels, combined with an example of love and independence provided by her close friend Shug, pushes her finally toward an awakening of her creative and loving self.

　　全书由九十四封书信构成，分别是女主人公西莉亚写给上帝，妹妹内蒂以及爱慕的女性黑人布鲁斯歌手萨格的书信，信中所提及的故事，构成了西莉亚整个关于童年的回忆以及现今生活的画面。小说以书信体格式来记录故事是一个非常独特的方法，这也形成了本书独特的魅力，另外书信中姓名的留白（即所有男性的名字作者都用“——”来表示），也带给读者非常不一样的感受。
　　《紫色》的情节并不复杂，故事的年代大约在20世纪初到第二次世界大战前夕，背景是美国南方佐治亚乡村。十四岁的黑人女孩西丽被后父奸污，生下两个孩子。多病的母亲不了解真相活活气死了。她的孩子被后父抢走失踪，她本人又被迫嫁给已有四个孩子的鳏夫。丈夫另有所爱，对她百般虐待，而她受旧思想旧习俗的影响只是自叹命苦，从不反抗，只在给上帝写的信里倾诉内心的痛苦。她对丈夫毫无感情，甚至不愿意叫他的名字，只称他为某某先生。善良的西丽发现后父和丈夫都对妹妹耐蒂不怀好心，便帮助她离家出走。另一方面，她任劳任怨地把丈夫前妻的儿女抚养成人。大儿子哈波结婚以后，想像父亲那样使唤打骂老婆，但儿媳妇索菲亚生性倔强，不肯对丈夫俯首贴耳唯命是从，在生了好几个孩子以后还是离开了哈波。西丽丈夫以前的情人，歌唱家莎格患重病流落街头。某某先生把她接到家里，她在西丽的精心护理下恢复了健康，两人成了知心朋友。莎格开导西丽要充分认识自己的聪明才智，要跟大男子主义思想作斗争，主动争取女人应有的权利。莎格的启发开阔了西丽的眼界，她开始用新的眼光观察世界、考虑问题。后来，莎格发现西丽的丈夫一直把耐蒂从非洲写来的信件秘密收藏起来不让她知道。西丽在愤怒之余决定脱离某某先生，跟莎格去孟菲斯。她走出家庭学习缝纫，成为手艺精湛的裁缝，开起裁缝铺，过上了独立自主的生活。某某先生经过痛苦的思想斗争，认识到过去大男子主义思想的错误，向西丽作了诚恳的检讨，获得了西丽的原谅。他们不再是夫妻，但成了知心朋友。西丽的妹妹耐蒂出走后到黑人牧师塞缪尔家干活，又随他们去非洲做传教士。她发现牧师的一儿一女就是西丽失去的孩子。塞缪尔一家在非洲生活得很艰难，他妻子染上非洲疟疾不治身亡。英国殖民者为种植橡胶肆意破坏当地奥林卡人民的土地和村落。塞缪尔和耐蒂赶到英国向教会求救，但遭到冷落和侮辱。他们返回非洲时当地人民对他们大为失望，纷纷投奔住在森林深处反抗白人的母布雷人。耐蒂此时已经跟塞缪尔结成夫妻，决心带着儿子亚当、女儿奥莉维亚及儿媳妇塔希回国。小说结尾处，西丽跟妹妹和儿子、女儿重新团聚，过上快乐的生活。

精彩书摘

You better not never tell nobody but God. It'd kill your mammy.
Dear God,
I am fourteen years old. I am I have always been a good
girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what
is happening to me.
Last spring after little Lucious come I heard them fussing. He was pulling on her arm. She say It too soon, Fonso, I ain't well. Finally he leave her alone. A week go by, he pulling on her arm again. She say Naw, I ain't gonna. Can't you see I'm already half dead, an all of these chilren.
She went to visit her sister doctor over Macon. Left me to see after the others. He never had a kine word to say to me. Just say You gonna do what your mammy wouldn't. First he put his thing up gainst my hip and sort of wiggle it around. Then he grab hold my titties. Then he push his thing inside my pussy. When that hurt, I cry. He start to choke me, saying You better shut up and git used to it.
But I don't never git used to it. And now I feels sick every time I be the one to cook. My mama she fuss at me an look at me. She happy, cause he good to her now. But too sick to last long.
Dear God,
Mr. ______ finally come right out an ast for Nettie hand in marriage. But He won't let her go. He say she too young, no experience. Say Mr. ______ got too many children already. Plus What about the scandal his wife cause when somebody kill her? And what about all this stuff he hear bout Shug Avery? What bout that?
I ast our new mammy bout Shug Avery. What it is? I ast. She don't know but she say she gon fine out.
She do more then that. She git a picture. The first one
of a real person I ever seen. She say Mr. ______ was taking somethin out his billfold to show Pa an it fell out an slid under the table. Shug Avery was a woman. The most beautiful woman I ever saw. She more pretty then my mama. She bout ten thousand times more prettier then me. I see her there in furs. Her face rouge. Her hair like somethin tail. She grinning with her foot up on somebody motocar. Her eyes serious tho. Sad some.
I ast her to give me the picture. An all night long I stare at it. An now when I dream, I dream of Shug Avery. She be dress to kill, whirling and laughing.
Dear God,
I ast him to take me instead of Nettie while our new mammy sick. But he just ast me what I'm talking bout. I tell him I can fix myself up for him. I duck into my room and come out wearing horsehair, feathers, and a pair of our new mammy high heel shoes. He beat me for dressing trampy but he do it to me anyway.
Mr. ______ come that evening. I'm in the bed crying. Nettie she finally see the light of day, clear. Our new mammy she see it too. She in her room crying. Nettie tend to first one, then the other. She so scared she go out doors and vomit. But not out front where the two mens is.
Mr. ______ say, Well Sir, I sure hope you done change your mind.
He say, Naw, Can't say I is.
Mr. ______ say, Well, you know, my poor little ones sure could use a mother.
Well, He say, real slow, I can't let you have Nettie. She too young. Don't know nothing but what you tell her. Sides, I want her to git some more schooling. Make a schoolteacher out of her. But I can let you have Celie. She the oldest anyway. She ought to marry first. She ain't fresh tho, but I spect you know that. She spoiled. Twice. But you don't need a fresh woman no how. I got a fresh one in there myself and she sick all the time. He spit, over the railing. The children git on her nerve, she not much of a cook. And she big already.
Mr. ______ he don't say nothing. I stop crying I'm so surprise.
She ugly. He say. But she ain't no stranger to hard work. And she clean. And God done fixed her. You can do everything just like you want to and she ain't gonna make you feed it or clothe it.
Mr. ______ still don't say nothing. I take out the picture of Shug Avery. I look into her eyes. Her eyes say Yeah, it bees that way sometime.
Fact is, he say, I got to git rid of her. She too old to be living here at home. And she a bad influence on my other girls. She'd come with her own linen. She can take that cow she raise down there back of the crib. But Nettie you flat out can't have. Not now. Not never.
Mr. ______ finally speak. Clearing his throat. I ain't never really look at that one, he say.
Well, next time you come you can look at her. She ugly. Don't even look like she kin to Nettie. But she'll make the better wife. She ain't smart either, and I'll just be fair, you have to watch her or she'll give away everything you own. But she can work like a man.
Mr. ______ say How old she is?
He say, She near twenty. And another thing-She tell lies.
