Details: Product description To take revenge and escape, Isa chooses exile. Passenger of the wind on the ocean routes, undergoes wars, knows the prison and discovers the horror of the slave trade that enrich the Americas and the Antilles. Marked forever by all these experiences, Isa loves life no less for this. She will love men. He will love women... And even more his freedom. She will always be a rebel. From the back cover After almost twenty years of waiting, the sixth volume of this historic series is finally out (which will be followed shortly by Volume 7). The young and ferocious world of the Southern United States, shocked by the Civil War, seeks in its brief past the reason for its existence and for the struggles that annihilate it. A transmission of memory that takes place as it has always happened in the world: from old to young. Here the story is told by an almost centenary woman - who fled from the old world in search of a life out of the ordinary and conventions - to a young woman, also on the run, also intolerant of social codes and cultural constraints. Bourgeon thus continues to outline the story of his heroine Isa, a courageous and proud woman who, in a world of men, claims rights and dignity and is not silent in the face of abuses and injustices. His story becomes even more extraordinary here because it is capable of transforming itself into a teaching of freedom for his lineage, the great-granddaughter Zabo, and for the men of this time who too often forget the horror of wars, deportation and slavery. As expressive as the story it tells, Bourgeon's drawing outlines faces and landscapes that transform into emotions and sensations. So much so that sometimes we seem to hear the suffocating heat of New Orleans and the slow rustle of the great Mississippi River.
