Tragic romance exposes brutality of early colonialism.
"Oroonoko" isn't just an engrossing read—it's pivotal historical literature. Aphra Behn, as the first recognized professional female writer in English, offers you more than just a story; she invites you into a nuanced examination of the horrors of slavery and colonialism through the eyes of an African prince. This novel may entice you especially if you're drawn to the complexities of history and the early stirrings of anti-slavery sentiment, told with a sense of tragedy and a grasp of the human condition that feels remarkably modern.
This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!
