The eccentric Christopher 'Titch' Wilde is a naturalist, explorer, scientist, inventor and abolitionist, whose single-minded pursuit of the perfect aerial machine mystifies all around him. Titch's idealistic plans are soon shattered and Washington finds himself in mortal danger. They escape the island together, but then then Titch disappears and Washington must make his way alone, following the promise of freedom further than he ever dreamed possible. From the blistering cane fields of Barbados to the icy wastes of the Canadian Arctic, from the mud-drowned streets of London to the eerie deserts of Morocco, Washington Black teems with all the strangeness and mystery of life. Inspired by a true story, Washington Black is the extraordinary tale of a world destroyed and made whole again. *651 7$aBarbados$2Bokbasen AS$_20465000 *655 7$aHistorisk litteratur$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30171700 *655 7$aRoman$9nor$2norvok$_27446100 *655 7$aRomaner$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30171800 *85641$amedia.boknett.no$uhttps://media.boknett.no/objects/26/40/150304026/productimage_ORG_bcc150a7bf1920188114f9126e0dc46923d3da56.jpg$nBokbasen, Oslo$qimage/jpeg ^
