Oroonoko - kuninkaallisen orjan tarina

Vuonna 1688 ilmestynyt romaani Oroonoko - kuninkaallisen orjan tarina on traaginen kertomus afrikkalaisesta nuorukaisesta, joka päätyy orjaksi Surinamiin. Oroonoko avioituu rakastettunsa Imoindan kanssa, mutta kahden orjan liitto on tuhoon tuomittu. Tarina on samaan aikaan romanttisen tunteikas ja hämmästyttävän väkivaltainen.

Englantilainen Aphra Behn (1640-1689) oli ensimmäisiä ammattimaisia naiskirjailijoita. Virginia Woolfin mukaan juuri Behn oli taistellut naisille oikeuden kirjoittaa. Behn vietti nuoruutensa Etelä-Amerikassa ja ammensi näistä kokemuksista virikkeitä romaaniinsa.

Oroonoko on länsimaisen kirjallisuuden klassikoita ja ilmestyy nyt ensi kertaa suomeksi Artemis Kelosaaren kääntämänä.
