    Vuonna 1688 ilmestynyt romaani Oroonoko - kuninkaallisen orjan tarina on traaginen kertomus afrikkalaisesta nuorukaisesta, joka päätyy orjaksi Surinamiin. Oroonoko avioituu rakastettunsa Imoindan kanssa, mutta kahden orjan liitto on tuhoon tuomittu. Tarina on samaan aikaan romanttisen tunteikas ja hämmästyttävän väkivaltainen. Englantilainen Aphra Behn (1640-1689) oli ensimmäisiä ammattimaisia naiskirjailijoita. Virginia Woolfin mukaan juuri Behn oli taistellut naisille oikeuden kirjoittaa. Behn vietti nuoruutensa Etelä-Amerikassa ja ammensi näistä kokemuksista virikkeitä romaaniinsa. Oroonoko on länsimaisen kirjallisuuden klassikoita ja ilmestyy nyt ensi kertaa suomeksi Artemis Kelosaaren kääntämänä.

    After learning how to fight at a young age, Oroonoko, an African prince, fights alongside his army against invading forces. When a celebrated general saves Oroonoko¿s life, trading his own to take an arrow for Oroonoko, the young prince feels indebted to the man and decides to go pay his respects to the late general¿s family. There, he meets Imoinda, the daughter of the general. Oroonoko and Imoinda quickly fall in love and become betrothed, but the King, Oroonoko¿s father, hears of Imoindäs beauty and decides to take her as one of his wives. When Oroonoko and Imoinda rebel against this, the King sells Imoinda into slavery. Heartbroken, Oroonoko goes back to war, only to be tricked and captured by a British general. After the British general sells Oroonoko into slavery, he is reunited with Imoinda, as they are sold to work on the same plantation. This joy is short lived, as the horrors of slavery take its toll. When Imoinda becomes pregnant, the couple decide to do whatever it takes to ensure the best life for their child. They beg to be emancipated, but the plantation owner hardly considers their request, forcing Oroonoko to take his freedom back by force. With a lifetime of training, the love of his life at his side, and a dedication to regain his freedom, Oroonoko must lead a slave rebellion, risking everything he has for what he and his family should have: freedom. Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave has earned acclaim from both literary critics and historians. When it was originally published in 1688, less than a year before author Aphra Behn died, Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave did not receive immediate attention. However, Behn¿s work did gain popularity after a stage version of the novel was released in 1695. While the accuracy of the novel¿s plot has been questioned and debated by historians, Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave has earned cultural and historical significance by being claimed as one of the first novels written in English. Along with its prolific and innovative writer, the novel has earned significance that is still admirable today. Now redesigned with an eye-catching cover and reprinted in a modern font, Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave by Aphra Behn is accessible for a modern audience.

    Et toutes les femmes en ch¿ur devraient déposer des fleurs sur la tombe d'Aphra Behn (¿) car c'est elle qui obtint, pour elles toutes, le droit d'exprimer leurs idées. Virginia Woolf, Une chambre à soi. Ce n'est ni dans la thématique, ni dans les grandes lignes de l'intrigue du Petit Maître, écrit Delphine Vallon dans sa préface, qu'il faut chercher l'originalité d'Aphra Behn. C'est dans le traitement des personnages types de la Restauration que réside celle-ci, et plus particulièrement dans son traitement du roué.

  • von Vita Sackville-West & Aphra Behn
    24,00 €

    Aphra, »die Einzigartige«, wie Vita Sackville-West sie nennt, war die erste Berufsschriftstellerin Englands, und während ihrer kurzen Karriere - von der englischen Restauration 1660 bis zur sogenannten Glorious Revolution 1688/9 - schrieb sie über alles, was ihre Zeit bewegte: Sklaverei, Politik, Geld sowie sexuelle und kulturelle Gegensätze. Ihre burlesken und erotischen Texte spalteten die Gesellschaft jedoch: Den - naturgemäß männlichen - Kritikern war Behns freigeistige Gesinnung ebenso ein Dorn im Auge wie ihr ungestümer Lebenswandel und ihre spitze Feder.Mit Oroonoko, der tragischen Liebesgeschichte zwischen einem Prinzen und seiner Braut, die in die Sklaverei nach Südamerika verschleppt werden, schuf Behn ihr Hauptwerk und löste, durch die ebenso leidenschaftliche wie differenzierte Darstellung kolonialer Grausamkeit, Debatten aus, die sich über Jahrhunderte hinziehen sollten. Diese Ausgabe ermöglicht nun durch zusätzliche, erstmals ins Deutsche übersetzte Texte Einblicke in die dramatische Wirkungsgeschichte.

    Oroonoko ist ein afrikanischer Prinz, der als Sklave in die Kolonien verkauft wird und dort einen Aufstand anzettelt. Die schöne Miranda nutzt ihr blendendes Aussehen, um daraus Profit zu schlagen, und schreckt auch vor Mord nicht zurück. Der Freibeuter Wilmore stellt auf dem Karneval von Neapel Frauen nach und wird von Hellena gebändigt, die ein Leben in - sexueller - Freiheit dem Kloster vorzieht. Der an "Mondwahn" leidende Doktor Baliardo schließlich erlebt sein blaues Wunder, als ihm vermeintlich Außerirdische einen Besuch abstatten.Aphra Behn - eine Feministin avant la lettre - ist die erste freie Schriftstellerin Englands und Erfinderin des realistischen Romans, wie wir ihn kennen. Ob in ihrem Prosawerk oder in ihren Erfolgskomödien, ihr Figurenarsenal könnte unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Doch all ihre Heldinnen und Helden eint, dass sie sich keinen Zwängen und Konventionen fügen wollen. Behns Themenspektrum reicht von Gender Trouble bis zur Zivilisationskritik und stets begehrt sie auf gegen die unterdrückte Stellung der Frauen in ihrer Epoche. Dabei nimmt sie nie ein Blatt vor den Mund. Ihr Langgedicht "Die Enttäuschung" kreist um das Gefühl einer Frau, der der Orgasmus verwehrt bleibt, in einem anderen hat ein weibliches Ich Sex mit einer intergeschlechtlichen Person.Virginia Woolf und Vita Sackville-West machten zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts auf Aphra Behn aufmerksam.Ist sie die berühmte Schwester Shakespeares, die Woolf in ihrem Essay "Ein Zimmer für sich allein" imaginiert?Ja und nein. Sie schrieb einige der erfolgreichsten Komödien der englischen Restaurationszeit, beeinflusste Schriftstellerinnen wie Delarivier Manley, Charlotte Lennox, Eliza Haywood und Mary Astell und kritisierte die Kolonialgeschichte Englands, kaum dass es sie gab. Trotzdem geriet sie fast vollständig in Vergessenheit. Ihre Renaissance in England läuft hochtourig. In Deutschland ist sie bislang lediglich ein Geheimtipp - höchste Zeit, dass sich daran etwas ändert.Neben dem autofiktionalen Roman "Oroonoko" enthält diese Werkauswahl in Neu- und Erstübersetzungen die Erzählungen "Die schöne Scheinheilige", "Liebesbriefe an einen Edelmann" und "Die Abenteuer der schwarzen Lady", die Komödien "Der Freibeuter" und "Der Herrscher des Mondes" sowie eine breite Auswahl aus Aphra Behns lyrischem Schaffen.
