Long out of print in America, Alexandre Dumas's most daring narrative is now available in this major new translation by Tina A. Kover. Filled with intrigue, romance, and deadly vengeance, <i>Georges</i> 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. <i>Georges</i> stands apart as the only book by Dumas that explores the potent subject of race. <br><br>Praise for <i>Georges:</i><br><br>“A rousing and vivid adventure . . . packed with action and atmosphere.”<br><i>–The Columbus Dispatch<br></i><br>“A 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.” <br>–Rudolph P. Byrd, Emory University<br><br><br>“As compelling and relevant today as it was back in the 1840s, when it was first published.” <br>–Adrienne Kennedy, author of <i>Funnyhouse of a Negro</i>
