Maya Angelou's six volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a Black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration. In this first volume of her six books of autobiography, Maya Angelou beautifully evokes her childhood with her grandmother in the American south of the 1930s. She learns the power of the white folks at the other end of town and suffers the terrible trauma of rape by her mother's lover.

'I write about being a Black American woman, however, I am always talking about what it's like to be a human being. This is how we are, what makes us laugh, and this is how we fall and how we somehow, amazingly, stand up again' Maya Angelou©1969 Maya Angelou Autoren Frauen Kunst & Literatur Unterhaltung & Stars

Kritikerstimmen

A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman (President Barack Obama)
The poems and stories she wrote . . . were gifts of wisdom and wit, courage and grace (President Bill Clinton)
She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds (Oprah Winfrey)
She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate (Toni Morrison)
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)
A trailblazer in decolonial, anti-racist movements and intersectional feminism, memoirist, poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou is a powerhouse of a woman
Steeped in resilience and grace
One of the most influential biographies of our time
Heartbreaking, beautiful and inspiring in equal measure, a searing insight into an extraordinary life with hope in the wake of extreme trauma . . . a landmark work of literature

At times heartbreaking yet uplifting and deeply understanding when it comes to the context in which horrible decisions were made. I was well entertained, i laughed, i felt hurt for her as a child and was in awe at this womans resilience as well as her intelligence especially at her young age. I can't recommend this book enough.

Her story, told in her beautifully soothing voice.

it took me a while to get used to her voice and being able to understand every word. however there came a point when it felt I was diving into her world, her story, her feelings. she is an amazing storyteller. her view and expression for her inside world and her capacity to describe what I thought could only be felt but never be put into words left me in wonder. at the same time her tellings are a political and historical account of the 40ies in the US and opened my eyes to many aspects of life as Afroamerican that were moving to me.

wonderful voice and expression leaves me fascinated

I LOVED listening to Maya Angelou's actual voice reading her story. I think this memoir is so authentically written that you would hear it anyways if someone else was reading it aloud on the audiobook. Her story is very engaging. This is actually my first Maya Angelou text so I am not used to her writing, and still it was easy to understand yet so literary in the delivery. She tells her story of her childhood as though she can truly connect with how her childhood self saw the world. Breathtaking. Highly recommend.

What a voice!
