About the Author:
A friend and disciple of Rousseau, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) was a naturalist and influential social critic as well as a successful author. A military engineer by training, he was instrumental in popularizing pastoral fiction with Paul et Virginie. Jason Wilson, Professor of Latin American literature at University College, London, was born in Mauritius and is the author of books on Alexander von Humboldt and Octavio Paz, and Buenos Aires: A Cultural and Literary Companion (Interlink Books, 2000).
Review:

Bernadin was one of the first to denounce slavery having witnessed it...a fascinating record of eighteenth century colonial life and an inspiring example of independent thought." The Tablet
