Georges (Modern Library Classics)

Long out of print in America, Alexandre Dumasâ€™s most daring narrative is now available in this major new translation by Tina A. Kover. Filled with intrigue, romance, and deadly vengeance, Georges is the story of a wealthy mulatto boy who is driven from his island home by racist landowners. Returning to Mauritius as an accomplished young man, Georges pits his strength against a powerful plantation owner, leading a dramatic slave uprising and claiming the heart of a beautiful white woman. Georges stands apart as the only book by Dumas that explores the potent subject of race.

Praise for Georges:

â€œA rousing and vivid adventure . . . packed with action and atmosphere.â€
â€“The Columbus Dispatch

â€œA remarkable discovery . . . We are indebted to Werner Sollors and Jamaica Kincaid for providing us with a critical lens for the journey Dumas has created out of his own generous and expansive imagination.â€
â€“Rudolph P. Byrd, Emory University

â€œAs compelling and relevant today as it was back in the 1840s, when it was first published.â€
â€“Adrienne Kennedy, author of Funnyhouse of a Negro
