Description

Book Synopsis
A controversial 19th-century Cuban novel about the fatal love of a mulatto slave for his white owner's daughter, together with a novella about an intelligent, flamboyant woman struggling against the restrictions on her gender.

Trade Review
The first English translation of the major work of a privileged, unconventional, and somewhat neglected Cuban author. . . . A worthy addition to scholarship in Latin American studies, useful in comparative literature and social history courses covering such writers as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Jorge Isaacs, Alejo Carpentier, or Ramon del Valle-Inclán. * Choice *
