This Broadview edition makes Hugos novel available in a completely new English translation, the first in over one hundred years. Set in 1791, during the first months of a slave revolt that would eventually lead to the creation of the black republic of Haiti in 1804, Bug-Jargal is a stirring tale of interracial friendship and rivalry, a provocative account of the ties that bind a young Frenchman to one of the rebel leaders and the tragic misunderstandings that threaten to sever those ties completely.This Broadview edition contains a critical introduction and a broad selection of appendices, including Hugos never-before-translated 1820 short story Bug-Jargal, contemporary reviews of the novel, documents pertaining to the young Hugos poetics and politics, and selections from his source materials about the Haitian Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862985572640,"sku":"NEW1551114461","price":36.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81zyy5Sf5yL.jpg?v=1792363987","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bug-jargal-broadview-editions-1551114461","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
