Résumé

Born mixed-race, but with pale skin, Georges was rejected by everyone in the 19th-century French colony of Mauritius. But, in this era of slavery and abuse, he was destined to be noticed.In Alexandre Dumas' action-packed novel, Georges, the son of a wealthy, mixed-race planter, leads a black militia group and saves the lives of many planters during the British invasion of Mauritius.However, he gets no thanks. Then, when he fights with the son of another planter, his father sends him to France to be schooled.Here, Georges becomes eloquent, educated, and a hit with the ladies.He returns to Mauritius and his popularity quickly increases in society. But, when he discovers that his brother is the captain of a slave ship, he is furious.The fuse is lit for a slave revolt, imprisonment, and a death sentence. Is it the end for Georges?Perfect for readers of Victor Hugo's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'My Bondage and my Freedom' by Frederick Douglass.Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a world-famous playwright and novelist. During his life and after his death, he has been one of the most important and widely read French historical adventure writers. His experience was based on his many travels and exuberant lifestyle. His novels include 'The Count of Monte Cristo', 'The Three Musketeers', 'The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later', and 'Twenty Years After'. His works have been adapted into more than 200 movies and TV series.The English playwright Watts Phillips, who knew Dumas in his later life, said: "He was the most generous, large-hearted being in the world. He also was the most delightfully amusing and egotistical creature on the face of the earth."For readers of the novels of Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens.
