ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Washington Black" by Esi Edugyan is a historical adventure that follows the life of Washington, an enslaved boy on a Barbados plantation in the 19th century. His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes the protégé of Titch, the unconventional brother of the plantation owner, who is a scientist.

Washington's world expands as he travels with Titch, learning about science, art, and the world beyond the plantation. However, after an accident forces them to flee, Washington embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting themes of slavery, freedom, identity, and the complex relationships that shape his destiny. The novel explores the limits of kindness in an unjust system.
