Product Information

La azarosa historia de una esclava en el Santo Domingo del siglo XVIII que lograr librarse de los estigmas que la sociedad le ha impuesto para conseguir la libertad. Para ser una esclava en el Saint-Domingue de finales del siglo XVIII, Zarit hab a tenido buena estrella: a los nueve a os fue vendida a Toulouse Valmorain, un rico terrateniente, pero no conoci ni el agotamiento de las plantaciones de ca a ni la asfixia y el sufrimiento de los trapiches, porque siempre fue una esclava dom stica. Su bondad natural, fortaleza de esp ritu y honradez le permitieron compartir los secretos y la espiritualidad que ayudaban a sobrevivir a los suyos, los esclavos, y conocer las miserias de los amos, los blancos. Zarit se convirti en el centro de un microcosmos que era un reflejo del mundo de la colonia: el amo Valmorain, su fr gil esposa espa ola y su sensible hijo Maurice, el sabio Parmentier, el militar Relais y la cortesana mulata Violette, Tante Rose, la curandera, Gambo, el apuesto esclavo rebelde# y otros personajes de una cruel conflagraci n que acabar a arrasando su tierra y lanz ndolos lejos de ella. Al ser llevada por su amo a Nueva Orleans, Zarit inici una nueva etapa en la que alcanzar a su mayor aspiraci n: la libertad. M s all del dolor y del amor, de la sumisi n y la independencia, de sus deseos y los que le hab an impuesto a lo largo de su vida, Zarit pod a contemplarla con serenidad y concluir que hab a tenido buena estrella. &la"En mis cuarenta a os, yo, Zarit Sedella, he tenido mejor suerte que otras esclavas. Voy a vivir largamente y mi vejez ser contenta porque mi estrella -mi z'etoile- brilla tambi n cuando la noche est nublada. Conozco el gusto de estar con el hombre escogido por mi coraz n cuando sus manos grandes me despiertan la piel. He tenido cuatro hijos y un nieto, y los que est n vivos son libres. Mi primer recuerdo de felicidad, cuando era una mocosa huesuda y desgre ada, es moverme al son de los tambores y sa es tambi n mi m s reciente felicidad, porque anoche estuve en la plaza del Congo bailando y bailando, sin pensamientos en la cabeza, y hoy mi cuerpo est caliente y cansado. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the sugar plantations of Saint-Domingue to the lavish parlors of New Orleans at the turn of the 19th century, the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende (In s of My Soul, The House of the Spirits, Portrait in Sepia) tells the story of a mulatta woman, a slave and concubine, determined to take control of her own destiny. Born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue, Zarit --known as T t --is the daughter of an African mother she never knew and one of the white sailors who brought her into bondage. T t surivves a childhood of brutality and fear, finding solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and in her exhilarating initiation into the mysteries of voodoo. When twenty-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, he discovers that running his father's plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither glamorous nor easy. Marriage also proves problematic when, eight years later, he brings home a bride. But it is his teenaged slave T t who becomes Valmorain's most inportant confindant. A heartwrenching and powerful story story of an extraordinary woman who forges her identity and finds love and freedom under the cruelest of circumstances. Isabelle Allende has done it again. "Allende is a master storyteller at the peak of her powers." -- Los Angeles Times
