The slave uprising in Haiti was a momentous contribution to the tide of revolution that swept over the Western world at the end of the 1700s. A brutal rebellion that strove to overturn a vicious system of slavery, the uprising successfully transformed Haiti from a European colony to the world’s first Black republic. From the center of this horrific maelstrom, the heroic figure of Toussaint Louverture–a loyal, literate slave and both a devout Catholic and Vodouisant–emerges as the man who will take the merciless fires of violence and vengeance and forge a revolutionary war fueled by liberty and equality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bell assembles a kaleidoscopic portrait of this seminal movement through a tableau of characters that encompass black, white, male, female, rich, poor, free and enslaved. Pulsing with brilliant detail, \u003ci\u003eAll Soul’s Rising\u003c\/i\u003e provides a visceral sense of the pain, terror, confusion, and triumph of revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toussaint Louverture, Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781400076536\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bell, Madison Smartt","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £6.61","offer_id":48027962310833,"sku":"SB-1400076536-C3","price":6.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1400076536.jpg?v=1791939468","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/all-souls-rising-a-novel-of-haiti-1-haiti-trilogy","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
