The Tragedy of King Christophe
The Tragedy of King Christophe is recognised as the Martiniquan writer Aime Cesaire's greatest play. Set in the period of upheaval in Haiti after the assassination of Jean-Jacques Dessalines in 1806, it follows the historical figure of Henri Christophe, a slave who rose to become a general in Toussaint Louverture's army. Paul Breslin and Rachel Ney's translation includes an introduction and explanatory notes.
