內容簡介

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.

　　全書由九十四封書信構成，分彆是女主人公西莉亞寫給上帝，妹妹內蒂以及愛慕的女性黑人布魯斯歌手薩格的書信，信中所提及的故事，構成瞭西莉亞整個關於童年的迴憶以及現今生活的畫麵。小說以書信體格式來記錄故事是一個非常獨特的方法，這也形成瞭本書獨特的魅力，另外書信中姓名的留白（即所有男性的名字作者都用“——”來錶示），也帶給讀者非常不一樣的感受。
　　《紫色》的情節並不復雜，故事的年代大約在20世紀初到第二次世界大戰前夕，背景是美國南方佐治亞鄉村。十四歲的黑人女孩西麗被後父奸汙，生下兩個孩子。多病的母親不瞭解真相活活氣死瞭。她的孩子被後父搶走失蹤，她本人又被迫嫁給已有四個孩子的鰥夫。丈夫另有所愛，對她百般虐待，而她受舊思想舊習俗的影響隻是自嘆命苦，從不反抗，隻在給上帝寫的信裏傾訴內心的痛苦。她對丈夫毫無感情，甚至不願意叫他的名字，隻稱他為某某先生。善良的西麗發現後父和丈夫都對妹妹耐蒂不懷好心，便幫助她離傢齣走。另一方麵，她任勞任怨地把丈夫前妻的兒女撫養成人。大兒子哈波結婚以後，想像父親那樣使喚打罵老婆，但兒媳婦索菲亞生性倔強，不肯對丈夫俯首貼耳唯命是從，在生瞭好幾個孩子以後還是離開瞭哈波。西麗丈夫以前的情人，歌唱傢莎格患重病流落街頭。某某先生把她接到傢裏，她在西麗的精心護理下恢復瞭健康，兩人成瞭知心朋友。莎格開導西麗要充分認識自己的聰明纔智，要跟大男子主義思想作鬥爭，主動爭取女人應有的權利。莎格的啓發開闊瞭西麗的眼界，她開始用新的眼光觀察世界、考慮問題。後來，莎格發現西麗的丈夫一直把耐蒂從非洲寫來的信件秘密收藏起來不讓她知道。西麗在憤怒之餘決定脫離某某先生，跟莎格去孟菲斯。她走齣傢庭學習縫紉，成為手藝精湛的裁縫，開起裁縫鋪，過上瞭獨立自主的生活。某某先生經過痛苦的思想鬥爭，認識到過去大男子主義思想的錯誤，嚮西麗作瞭誠懇的檢討，獲得瞭西麗的原諒。他們不再是夫妻，但成瞭知心朋友。西麗的妹妹耐蒂齣走後到黑人牧師塞繆爾傢乾活，又隨他們去非洲做傳教士。她發現牧師的一兒一女就是西麗失去的孩子。塞繆爾一傢在非洲生活得很艱難，他妻子染上非洲瘧疾不治身亡。英國殖民者為種植橡膠肆意破壞當地奧林卡人民的土地和村落。塞繆爾和耐蒂趕到英國嚮教會求救，但遭到冷落和侮辱。他們返迴非洲時當地人民對他們大為失望，紛紛投奔住在森林深處反抗白人的母布雷人。耐蒂此時已經跟塞繆爾結成夫妻，決心帶著兒子亞當、女兒奧莉維亞及兒媳婦塔希迴國。小說結尾處，西麗跟妹妹和兒子、女兒重新團聚，過上快樂的生活。

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.
