A stunning gift package of prize-winning Beloved to commemorate Toni Morrison. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ZADIE SMITH AND SPECIAL ARCHIVAL MATERIAL It is the mid-1800s and as slavery looks to be coming to an end, Sethe is haunted by the violent trauma it wrought on her former enslaved life at Sweet Home, Kentucky. Her dead baby daughter, whose tombstone bears the single word, Beloved, returns as a spectre to punish her mother, but also to elicit her love. Told with heart-stopping clarity, melding horror and beauty, Beloved is Toni Morrison's enduring masterpiece. 'Toni Morrison was a giant of her times and ours ... Beloved is a heartbreaking testimony to the ongoing ravages of slavery, and should be read by all' Margaret Atwood, New York Times 'An American masterpiece' A.S. Byatt 'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie 'I adored her honesty. I admired the way she occupied her space in the world. I believed her' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie **One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

トニ・モリスンが描くのは、単なる過去の記録ではなく、魂に刻まれ続ける記憶の残像です。奴隷制という暴力が愛娘の亡霊として現れる構成は、ホラーの体裁を借りた究極の鎮魂歌。詩的で崇高な文体は読者の理性を揺さぶり、剥き出しの痛みを共鳴させます。 本作の核心は、極限下で母性が直面する過酷な決断にあります。愛が時として凶器に変わる矛盾を、著者は一切の妥協なく抉り出しました。悲劇の深淵にありながら、人間の尊厳と再生への微かな光を提示する本作は、文学が到達し得る最高峰の地平です。読後の震えが止まらない、魂の記録をぜひ体感してください。
