Da Melitas hjerteløse stedmor sendte hende til Martinique som guvernante, var hun bange både for det fremmede land og for sin nye arbejdsgiver, grev de Vesonne. Men intet var, som hun havde ventet. Trods øens skønhed lurede fare overalt. Og greven – var han ikke farligere for hende end noget andet?

Moderrollen udforskes i en rå coming-of-age-fortælling, hvor en moderløs opvækst bliver selve livets præmis.Xuela Claudette Richardson mister sin mor i samme øjeblik, hun kommer til verden, og må derfor famle sig igennem tilværelsen uden den kvinde, hun deler navn med.Hun vokser op i et hjem, hvorfra hun kan høre bølgernes brusen, og under sin skolegang flytter hun ind i et værelse med bliktag i Jack LaBattes hus. Jack bliver hendes første elsker, og siden forelsker hun sig i stevedoren Roland, som stjæler irsk linned til hende fra de skibe, han aflæsser. Men i sidste ende gifter Xuela sig med den engelske læge, Philip Bailey.Xuelas verden er intenst sanselig med dufte af overmodne frugter, krystalviolet, svovl og regnvåde vejbaner, og den syder af Xuelas sorg over sin mor, frygt for sin far og en altomsluttende ensomhed. Og under alt andet løber den strøm, som Xuelas liv vugger på: moderløsheden og barnløsheden.Selvbiografien om min mor er en lyrisk fortælling om kærlighed og karakterdannelse og en meditation over livet og døden på øen Dominica.

Looking for Cazabon is the first poetry collection by the Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott and was inspired by the paintings of Michel Jean Cazabon, Trinidad's most famous 19th-century painter, and the subject of Scott's novel, Light Falling on Bamboo. The poems - written while Scott was working on the novel - celebrate love, friendships and the island's natural beauty but it is a wonderment undercut by violence, both historical and contemporary.

A history of the indigenous peoples of the Dominica.What happened to the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean in the wake of the European adventurers who claimed to have "discovered" them? While in some parts of the region they were decimated within a generation, others, such as the Kalinago of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles, resisted the onslaught. This book sheds new light on the Kalinago relationship in the wake of contact and exchange. In remarkable detail, it shows how they have shifted identities from the early years of resistance, through tactical retreat to eventual revival of Kalinago tradition into the 21st century.

"Le fortune del Capitano Blood", pubblicato un anno dopo l’uscita del film incentrato sull’omonimo personaggio (1936), raccoglie sei nuovi racconti che, nelle intenzioni di Sabatini, non avrebbero dovuto costituirsi come sequel del fortunato "Captain Blood" (1922), bensì come avventure indipendenti, ambientate nel periodo in cui il protagonista si dà alla pirateria nei mari caraibici. Che dire, quindi, se non abbozzare un profilo del protagonista di tali avventure? L’irlandese Peter Blood – personaggio puramente fittizio – è un medico ed ex avventuriero che, poco prima della Gloriosa Rivoluzione (1688), è accusato ingiustamente di aver preso parte a una ribellione contro re Giacomo II. Deportato alle Barbados insieme ad altri esuli, riuscirà tuttavia a fuggire e a diventare un pirata. Fra mille peripezie e colpi di scena, si intende...Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) nasce a Jesi, figlio di due cantanti d’opera rispettivamente italiano e inglese. Cresciuto dunque in un ambiente cosmopolita, diviso fra Inghilterra, Portogallo e Svizzera, già a diciassette anni padroneggia cinque lingue. Inizia a scrivere i primi racconti attorno ai vent’anni, anche se il primo vero successo lo avrà solo col romanzo "Scaramouche" (1921). Da allora produrrà romanzi a un ritmo notevole – anche uno all’anno – creandosi un nutrito seguito di lettori fedeli, grazie anche a libri come "Captain Blood" (1922), "Bellarion the Fortunate" (1926) e "Venetian Mask" (1937). La scelta di scrivere in inglese, come ammesso da lui stesso, sarebbe dipesa dal proposito di emulare la ricchissima letteratura di età vittoriana.

This biography, lovingly written by his grand-daughter, explores his political and personal life. In particular it examines his involvement with Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) of which he was a founding member, organiser and agent for Garvey's Black Star Line.

A teacher, bookbinder, and lawyer's clerk, he was also a prolific poet and editor of Dominica's first poetry anthology.
