'An extraordinary storyteller' Bernardine Evaristo'People say that on the first night Francis Sancher spent in Rivière au Sel the wind in its temper screamed down from the mountains...'Francis Sancher always said he would come to an unnatural end. So when this handsome newcomer to the Guadeloupean village of Rivière au Sel is found dead, face down in the mud, no one is particularly surprised. Loved by some - especially women - and reviled by others, Francis was an enigmatic figure. Where did he come from? What caused his strange nocturnal wanderings? What devils haunted him? As the villagers come to pay their respects, they each reveal another piece of the mystery behind his life and death - and their own buried secrets and stories come to light.'The grand queen, the empress, of Caribbean literature' Fiammetta Rocco, Guardian.

The Belle Créole: Possessing one of the most vital voices in international letters, Maryse Condé added to an already acclaimed career the New Academy Prize in Literature in 2018. The twelfth novel by this celebrated author revolves around an enigmatic crime and the young man at its center. Dieudonné Sabrina, a gardener, aged twenty-two and black, is accused of murdering his employer--and lover--Loraine, a wealthy white woman descended from plantation owners. His only refuge is a sailboat, La Belle Créole, a relic of times gone by. Condé follows Dieudonnés desperate wanderings through the city of Port-Mahault the night of his acquittal, the narrative unfolding through a series of multivoiced flashbacks set against a forbidding backdrop of social disintegration and tumultuous labor strikes in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Guadeloupe. Twenty-four hours later, Dieudonnés fate becomes suggestively intertwined with that of the French island itself, though the future of both remains uncertain in the end. Echoes of Faulkner and Lawrence, and even Shakespeares Othello, resonate in this tale, yet the dramas uniquely modern dynamics set it apart from any model in its exploration of love and hate, politics and stereotype, and the attempt to find connections with others across barriers. Through her vividly and intimately drawn characters, Condé paints a rich portrait of a contemporary society grappling with the heritage of slavery, racism, and colonization. Englisch, Ebook.

Livro premiado de uma das mais importantes escritoras negras da atualidade, vencedora do New Academy Prize 2018 (Prêmio Nobel Alternativo) Tituba, mulher negra, nascida em Barbados, no século XVII, renasce, três séculos depois. Torna-se outra vez real, pelas mãos da premiada escritora Maryse Condé, vencedora do New Academy Prize 2018 (Prêmio Nobel Alternativo). No início do livro, Maryse Condé anota: "Tituba e eu vivemos uma estreita intimidade durante um ano. Foi no correr de nossas intermináveis conversas que ela me disse essas coisas que ainda não havia confiado a ninguém." Da mesma forma, quem lê Tituba poderá ouvi-la falar, do invisível, desestabilizando estruturas cristalizadas, mediando novas concepções de identidades e culturas e protegendo as pessoas insurgentes. Aqui, essa personagem fascinante, é retirada do silêncio a que a historiografia lhe destinou. Filha de uma mulher negra escravizada, viveu cedo o terror de ver a mãe assassinada por se defender do estupro de um homem branco e de saber que o pai se matou por causa do mesmo homem branco. Cresceu sob os cuidados de uma mulher que tinha o poder da cura e que a iniciou nos mistérios. Adulta, apaixonou-se por John Indien e abdicou, por ele, da própria liberdade. Uma das primeiras mulheres julgadas por praticar bruxaria nos tribunais de Salem, em 1692, Tituba fora escravizada e levada para a Nova Inglaterra pelo pastor Samuel Parris, que a denunciou. Mesmo protegida pelos espíritos, não pôde escapar das mentiras e acusações da histeria puritana daquela época.
