Synopsis
Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Her life story is told in the documentary film And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS's American Masters . Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local "powhitetrash." At eight years old and back at her mother's side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age--and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors ("I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare") will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. " I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity."--James Baldwin

    Arrived in Perfect Condition because it was packaged well......in a heavier envelope inside one of those flimsy plastic ones. A+ for packaging. Good price as well. The mailman tried his best to mess things up since I also got several other packages (it was like Christmas!!), but the packaging saved the day. Would definitely buy from again. Superb seller!

    I received this book in a matter of a few days. It is in perfect condition. It arrived tightly wrapped in plastic for protection. Then it had several layers of padding wrapped around the book, then finally the outer envelope. I appreciate the attention they put into my purchase and I would happily buy from them again. I got a high quality, beautiful book for a great value price. Thank you so much.
