While readers follow the story of the plantation owner's daughter Ursula, her doomed romance with Tancredo, and her uncle's diabolical schemes to entrap her in marriage, the novel's power lies in Reis's characterization of the enslaved Africans Tulio, Susana, and Antero. Shown in all their humanity as they narrate their personal histories and give voice to the abuse and injustices they have endured, these characters tell of the horrors of the Middle Passage, the daily indignities they face, and the brutality of their masters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Firmina Dos Reis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951470095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951470098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tagus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Maria Firmina Dos Reis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995391590655,"sku":"9781951470098","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7932f339-2734-4bda-8737-525759fe1895.jpg?v=1683335560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ursula-maria-firmina-dos-reis-9781951470098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
