"A man that has all the virtues that can adorn a human mind."
Oroonoko, a powerful African prince and brilliant general, falls deeply in love with the beautiful Imoinda. Their romance is shattered when they are both betrayed and sold into slavery, eventually reuniting on a sugar plantation in the English colony of Surinam. Renamed "Caesar" by his captors, Oroonoko cannot be broken by the chains of his station. Aphra Behn's narrative is a searing, tragic exploration of the "noble savage," the cruelty of the colonial system, and the indomitable spirit of a man born to rule.
A Landmark in Literary History: As one of the earliest examples of the English novel, Oroonoko is a fascinating blend of travelogue, memoir, and epic tragedy. Behn claims the authority of an eyewitness, painting a vivid-and often brutal-picture of life in the 17th-century Caribbean. The novel challenges the moral justifications of slavery by presenting a protagonist who possesses more honor and nobility than his "civilized" Christian masters.
The Tragedy of the Heroic Ideal: The story culminates in a desperate and violent rebellion as Oroonoko seeks to win freedom for his family. It is a profound meditation on the conflict between natural law and man-made systems of oppression. Oroonoko remains a critical text for understanding the origins of the novel form and the long history of social justice in literature.
Witness the strength of a royal heart in chains. Purchase "Oroonoko" today and discover a foundational work of English prose.
