Washington Black - Grand Format

When two English brothers take the helm of a Barbados sugar plantation, Washington Black — an eleven-year-old field slave — finds himself selected as personal servant to one of them. The eccentric Christopher Titch' Wilde is an inventor, explorer and abolitionist, whose determination to build the perfect aerial machine mystifies all around him. Soon Titch's idealistic plans are shattered, and Washington finds himself in mortal danger.
They escape together, but then Titch disappears and Washington must make his way in the world alone, following the promise of freedom further than he ever dreamed possible. Inspired by a true story, Washington Black is an extraordinary tale of a world destroyed and made whole again.
