Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book examines the social and emotional consequences of slavery in 1842 through the experiences of Magarthy, a young, beautiful slave purchased by a wealthy plantation owner, and Lucy, his frail, young wife. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the idyllic but oppressive society of a sugar plantation on the tropical island of Bourbon (now RÃ union). Weaving together rich historical detail with insights on power dynamics and the brutality inflicted by the master class, the author delves into the complex relationship that forms between the two women. While Magarthy seizes the opportunity to escape the drudgery of her fellow slaves, she must navigate the subtle and overt forms of oppression that permeate her life. The book offers a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the devastating impact of slavery on both the enslaved and the enslaver, questioning the morality of a society built on such a structure and the consequences of unchecked power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
