Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Years Ago: A Tale Of West Indian Domestic Life Of The Eighteenth Century is a novel written by Theodora Elizabeth Lynch and published in 1865. The story is set in the Caribbean during the 18th century and follows the lives of two families, one white and one black, and their interactions with each other. The novel explores themes of race, class, and gender, as well as the effects of colonialism on the lives of the characters. The plot revolves around the love story between the white protagonist, Edith, and the black servant, Cudjoe, and the obstacles they face due to societal norms and prejudices. The novel also delves into the lives of the other characters, including the white family's struggles with their plantation and finances, and the black family's experiences with slavery and rebellion. Through vivid descriptions and detailed characterizations, Years Ago offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics of West Indian society during the colonial era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
