Review:
This book must be read to be believed.... Surely it shouldn't be possible to tell the tortures of slavery in the manner of a fairy tale and still convey the extent of the atrocity.... Andre Schwarz-Bart can, and does make literature out of agony. - New York Times Book Review; ""A beautiful book, told in a dreamlike flow of images.... The work of a conscientious and gifted writer."" - The New York Review of Books; ""Although written in a deceptively uncontrived style, this very powerful book brilliantly telescopes history and conveys all the breadth of emotion of a good epic poem."" - The New Yorker
From the Publisher:
‘Each word is a drop of sweat, a bloody tear wrenched from himself...not only a beautiful novel, it is the act of love of a man who chooses the camp of the victims’ L’Express
