Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye

In Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in America prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. It is a powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity that asks questions about race, class, and gender with characteristic subtly and grace.

This edition is a translation into Arabic by Kamel Youssef Hussein.
