Krátky popis
From the sugar plantations of Saint-Domingue to the lavish parlors
of New Orleans at the turn of the 19th century, Isabel Allende's
latest novel tells the story of a mulatta woman, a slave and
concubine, determined to take control of her own destiny in a
society where that would seem impossible.Born a slave on the island
of Saint-Domingue – now known as Haiti –Tété is the product of
violent union between an African mother she never knew and one of
the white sailors who brought her into bondage.When twenty-year-old
Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, it's with
powdered wigs in his trunks and dreams of financial success in his
mind. But running his father's plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither
glamorous nor easy.Against the merciless backdrop of sugar cane
fields, the lives of Tété and Valmorain grow ever more intertwined.
When bloody revolution arrives at the gates of Saint Lazare, they
flee the island for the decadence and opportunity of New Orleans.
There, Tété finally forges a new life – but her connection to
Valmorain is deeper than anyone knows and not so easily
severed.Spanning four decades, ‘Island Beneath the Sea’ is the
moving story of one woman's determination to find love amid loss,
to offer humanity though her own has been so battered, and to forge
her own identity in the cruellest of circumstances.
