Georges

About this book

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.
