Sab (novela original) by Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda
"Sab (novela original)" by Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda is a novel written in 1841 during the Romantic period. Set in nineteenth-century Cuba amid independence struggles, the story centers on Sab, a mulatto slave who secretly loves Carlota, his master's white daughter. Unaware of his feelings, Carlota plans to marry a greedy merchant interested only in her dowry. Through this forbidden love story, Avellaneda denounces the Cuban slave system and explores themes of
race, oppression, and the transformative power of love that transcends social boundaries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
