Reviews
One of the first works which can really be considered a novel, this story follows an African prince as he and his love are sold into slavery. A very interesting, startlingly 'novel' (HAHA look pun!) way of looking at the horrors of slavery, one focused much more on class consciousness, rather than racial consciousness. And the author has the hots for the guy.
