Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filledwith bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.

    Мощная, страшная, безумная и красиво исполненная книга! Не пожалела, что прочла именно в оригинале - очень многое в этот роман привносит сам язык.

    There's a carnival in town. Thursday, tomorrow, is for coloreds and I got two dollars.

    Me and you and Denver gonna spend every penny of it. What you say?"

    "No" is what she said. At least what she started out saying (what would her boss say if she took a day off?), but even when she said it she was thinking how much her eyes enjoyed looking in his face.

    Risky, thought Paul D, very risky. For a used-to-be-slave woman to love anything that much was dangerous, especially if it was her children she had settled on to love. The best thing, he knew, was to love just a little bit; everything, just a little bit, so when they broke its back, or shoved it in a croaker sack, well, maybe you'd have a little love left over for the next one. "Why?" he asked her. "Why you think you have to take up for her? Apologize for her? She's grown."

    "I don't care what she is. Grown don't mean nothing to a mother.

    A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that supposed to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing."
