Sobre este artículo
UK: Amber Lane Press, 1999. null Book Good Play "In 1688 the British writer and playwright published her ' true history' called 'Oroonoko: or 'The Royal Slave'. It tells the story of an African prince, tricked into slavery and transported to the Birtish colony of Surinam in South America. Biyi Bandele (Nigerian-born, London-based writer) has written a witty, thought-provoking play that is at once a celebration of Aphra Behn's humanist vision, a bold and irreverent re-interpretation of the 300 year-old classic and a tragic lover story that resonates with passion." Occasional black underlining, otherwise very clean, tight.. Paper. 3. Book.
Sinopsis
Oroonoko is a short novel by Aphra Behn (1640–1689), published in 1688, concerning the love of its hero, an enslaved African in Surinam in the 1660s, and the author's own experiences in the new South American colony. Behn worked for Charles II as a spy during the outset of the Second Dutch War, ending up destitute when she returned to England, and even spending time in a debtors' prison, because Charles failed to pay her properly, or at all.
