Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning novel is now a new, boldly reimagined film from producers Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, starring Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, and Fantasia Barrino. A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters, spanning 20 years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women. She meets Shug Avery, her husband’s mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life, and her stepson’s wife, Sofia, who challenges her to fight for independence. And though the many letters from Celie’s sister are hidden by her husband, Nettie’s unwavering support will prove to be the most breathtaking of all. The Color Purple has sold more than five million copies, inspired an Academy Award-nominated film starring Oprah Winfrey and directed by Steven Spielberg, and been adapted into a Tony-winning Broadway musical. Lauded as a literary masterpiece, this is the groundbreaking novel that placed Walker “in the company of Faulkner” (The Nation), and remains a wrenching—yet intensely uplifting—experience for new generations of readers. This ebook features a new introduction written by the author on the 25th anniversary of publication, and an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection. The Color Purple is the 1st book in the Color Purple Collection, which also includes The Temple of My Familiar and Possessing the Secret of Joy.

Book Synopsis My Life in the Purple Kingdom by : BrownMark
Download or read book My Life in the Purple Kingdom written by BrownMark and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the young Black teenager who built a bass guitar in woodshop to the musician building a solo career with Motown Records—Prince’s bassist BrownMark on growing up in Minneapolis, joining Prince and The Revolution, and his life in the purple kingdom In the summer of 1981, Mark Brown was a teenager working at a 7-11 store when he wasn’t rehearsing with his high school band, Phantasy. Come fall, Brown, now called BrownMark, was onstage with Prince at the Los Angeles Coliseum, opening for the Rolling Stones in front of 90,000 people. My Life in the Purple Kingdom is BrownMark’s memoir of coming of age in the musical orbit of one of the most visionary artists of his generation. Raw, wry, real, this book takes us from his musical awakening as a boy in Minneapolis to the cold call from Prince at nineteen, from touring the world with The Revolution and performing in Purple Rain to inking his own contract with Motown. BrownMark’s story is that of a hometown kid, living for sunny days when his transistor would pick up KUXL, a solar-powered, shut-down-at-sundown station that was the only one that played R&B music in Minneapolis in 1968. But once he took up the bass guitar—and never looked back—he entered a whole new realm, and, literally at the right hand of Twin Cities musical royalty, he joined the funk revolution that integrated the Minneapolis music scene and catapulted him onto the international stage. BrownMark describes how his funky stylings earned him a reputation (leading to Prince’s call) and how he and Prince first played together at that night’s sudden audition—and never really stopped. He takes us behind the scenes as few can, into the confusing emotional and professional life among the denizens of Paisley Park, and offers a rare, intimate look into music at the heady heights that his childhood self could never have imagined. An inspiring memoir of making it against stacked odds, experiencing extreme highs and lows of success and pain, and breaking racial barriers, My Life in the Purple Kingdom is also the story of a young man learning his craft and honing his skill like any musician, but in a world like no other and in a way that only BrownMark could tell it.

Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ...personage as herself in any degree of difficulty. Mrs. Dun-das, meanwhile, had not brought her husband any fortune. Her father, a brave but pompous man, had spent all his own private fortune while occupying the post of governor of an island, and on his return to England he had lived up to the utmost of his liberal pension. Richard Dundas had met Augusta Danvers at a county ball, she and her father being visitors in the neighbourhood. How it was that he ever fell in love with her read like a fable to those who first made the acquaintance of Mrs. Dundas in the bleak and wintry portion of her life. There is almost always a poetry in every sort of youth, and doubtless there had been a slender gracefulness to admire in the general's daughter when she was a girl under twenty. Anyhow, Richard Dundas, with his three thousand a-year arid his fine old manor-house, did admire it; and he married her. The lady, accustomed from childhood to the subservience of a race of coloured servants, had never visited England until two years before her marriage. Thus she always regarded herself as a queen among her subjects. Hermia knew all this perfectly, and also what an uncompromising and unsympathisiug sort of majesty her aunt was. She could always weep pathetic tears for the smallest distresses that befel herself, but for others in misfortune she had ever ready a cut-and-dried series of maxims advising self-sacrifice, patience, and a humble acceptance of the ills of life as knowing that the bitterness contained a strengthening tonic, and that discipline was admirable for the ordinary sons and daughters of men. ' Good-night, aunt, ' said Hermia, quietly. But Mrs. Dundas would not speak to her. ' Go, leave me, ' she said. ' Leave me, leave me; don't come near me..
