«L'isola sotto il mare» is the historical novel by Isabel Allende, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (432 pages, in Italian).
In 1770, in the colony of Santo Domingo —present-day Haiti—, Zarité Sedella, called Tété, is bought as a child by the young Frenchman Toulouse Valmorain for domestic service. The novel follows her life among the sugarcane plantations and the move to Louisiana, with the violence of slavery, the struggle for freedom, solidarity, and a wide range of historical characters.
Italian translation by Elena Liverani of the Spanish original «La isla bajo el mar»; part of the Universale Economica Feltrinelli collection (no. 2236).
Work recommended for readers of historical fiction and contemporary fiction with an interest in slavery and emancipation.
