Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £1.50
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Lorsque Dieudonné, jardinier de son état, sort de prison après avoir été acquitté pour le meurtre de Loraine, sa riche maîtresse békée croqueuse de jeunes hommes, il se retrouve dans une ville au bord de l'insurrection. Économie sinistrée, conflits sociaux, affrontements syndicaux et politiques, haines raciales : en 1999, Port-Mahault vit des heures difficiles. Dans cette ambiance délétère, Dieudonné, renié par sa famille et par bon nombre de ses amis, retrouve tout naturellement le chemin de sa Belle Créole, le bateau qui lui sert de refuge et de repère, vestige heureux d'un passé révolu.Dans une langue fleurie et baroque, Maryse Condé livre peu à peu les clés de ce mystérieux personnage frappé du sceau du malheur, figure tragique d'une histoire d'amour pasionnelle. Dans une nature luxuriante, elle met en scène des personnages au grand coeur et aux nobles idéaux. Loin de tout cliché exotique, La Belle Créole peint dans une tonalité sombre le destin d'un grand héros romantique.
