Gunima

Hippolyte Carnot

Description

Récit d'aventure intimement lié à une histoire d'amour, Gunima raconte l'éducation morale du jeune Benjamin qui, muni des principes des Lumières, confronte ses préjugés et l'injustice du régime esclavagiste et de servitude des peuples dits hottentots du Cap. Etonnamment moderne, ce conte philosophique relève le défi de la fraternité au moment où la France répondait aux revendications de reconnaissance d'Haïti et que le mouvement abolitionniste reprenait de l'ampleur.
