Georges — Alexandre Dumas

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.

Swashbuckling adventure ensues in Georges, a riveting novel from the same author that wrote The Three Musketeers.  In Georges, Alexandre Dumas pulls out all the stops for this story of passion, identity, and racism.

A sensitive boy of mixed race, Georges Munier moves within the highest ranks of social circles in France and England before returning to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius.  There he falls in love with Sara.  The only problem is: she's engaged to the son of the powerful plantation owner, Monsier de Malmédie.  What follows is a story of a slave rebellion, duels, and battles at sea.
