Georges by Alexandre Dumas

Set on a French-held island in the Indian Ocean, the story follows Georges, a proud mixed-race heir who returns to a rigidly racist plantation society and, faced with insults, betrayal and the denial of his rights, embarks on a struggle to reclaim his family’s honor and his own dignity; the narrative moves through duels, political maneuvering and acts of rebellion while probing race, identity, colonial power and the personal costs of vengeance and love.
