Oroonoko: Or, the Royal Slave (Revised) Paperback - 1997
by Aphra Behn; Introduction by Lore Metzger
The first woman in England to make her living by writing, Aphra Behn (1640-1689) combines memoir, exotic travel narrative, and romance to tell the story of the noble Oroonoko, a black man who begins life as a prince and ends it as a slave. Taken up by reformers in the long battle against slavery, reprinted and imitated countless times, the story of Oroonoko remains a popular tale.
Summary
First line
I DO not pretend, in giving you the History of this Royal Slave, to entertain my Reader with Adventures of a feign'd Hero, whose Life and Fortunes Fancy may manage at the Poet's pleasure; nor in relating the Truth, design to adorn it with any Accidents, but such as arrived in earnest to him: And it shall come simply into the World, recommended by its own proper Merits, and natural Intrigues; there being enough of Reality to support it, and to render it diverting, without the addition of Invention.
