O knihe
The African prince Anniaba is the first black hero in French fiction. With his French queen, he also forms the first mixed-race couple. Based on fact, "Historie de Louis Anniaba" was first published in 1740 but has never before been reprinted. The story allows a degree of narrative and geographical fantasy, but the legal context of the period, in this volume brought into play for the first time, throws into relief the author's free-thinking stance. In other respects, it is a period piece, full of travel and adventure in Africa, on the high seas, in France and on the Barbary Coast. Anniaba's relatively fair complexion, impalusable for some, is a mark of his common humanity and of the author's refusal to accept that everything out of Africa is monstrous. It is important to rediscover this forgotten text in a world still bearing the scars of racism. This is a volume in the Textes litteraires/Exeter French Texts. The text, introduction and essential notes are all in French.
