Merhamet

Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison, who made a great contribution to the development and visibility of African-American literature, said that the slave trade was growing in America. This time he turns his attention to the end of the 1600s; It focuses on the relationship of the human body, which is the subject of miserable journeys and negotiations, with life, nature and itself, in a period when human life is disregarded and freedom cannot even be considered as a concept.

With the world of women who find a branch to hold on to in the name of self-realization, despite everything, The world of men, divided between master and slave, trade and agriculture, freedom and profit, collide on a farm. The picture is completed by presenting religious, cultural, regional, sectarian differences and humanity's relationship with slavery in a panoramic manner.

Morrison is always on the sidelines, whether she is the lady of the farm, a servant or a slave, in the limited world of whites that sees even human beings as a commercial element. It tells a fairy-tale yet real story around the internal contradictions of women thrust into roles and their struggles with desire and love.
