Esclave (French Edition)

It was speculated that in consideration of their abominable living conditions how anyone could have possibly survived for as long as they had.

It was a true testament to the human will to survive. My gratitude is sent to NetGalley and Europe Comics for this digital edition in exchange for an unbiased review. View all 4 comments. This is a remarkable true account of survival against all the odds. It shows the inhuman nature of the 'civilised' French being nothing but people traffickers, taking the indigenous inhabitants of Madagascar for profit, to be sold on as slaves.

Perfectly legal at the time. A quite shocking read on the face of it. The Forgotten Slaves of Tromelin is a both the worst of humankind and the best in terms of spirit and adaptability to live against the odds. It is a great title as when word reaches the Ea This is a remarkable true account of survival against all the odds. It is a great title as when word reaches the East India Company of abandoned survivors on this inhospitable island, they are ignored because they were slaves; little economic value to rescue and an embarrassment how they came to be on board the shipwrecked vessel.

The story of the shipwreck is told in episodes alternating with the modern research team and archaeological expedition who visited Tromelin. This is a clever approach because it is only through painstaking research that the story has come to be told. The facts are indisputable but the story is a creation literary genius weaving this evidence together. I found the modern similarities between abandonment even for a short stay at the weather station fascinating as modern technology often failed and the native Malagasy coped adjusting to their new situation. Having been taken from their homes by force; having been shipwrecked and then left alone, while the French sailors journeyed for help they somehow found the will to live on.

Translation of "esclave sexuelle" in English

Having little hope for the future as to be rescued would be to be recaptured into slavery. Perhaps better to die on this new island as free people. But they we removed from their culture, religious practices and customs and their community values. Again, fascinating that something of the modern scientists is mirrored in their solitude and deprivations, although death wasn't a constant fear as the new plane was scheduled in a set number of days. A graphic novel that I hope is shared as part of France's national curriculum.

Since the Malagasy as seen in this true account, were poorly treated, but worked tirelessly to live with dignity. A privilege to read and share with others.

ARC via Netgalley There are many stories from history that we do not know. This graphic novel relates one of those known but unknown stories. The novel tales two stories.

The first is that of the slave who not only find themselves kidnapped but then stranded on a small island. The second is group of scholars many years l Disclaimer: The second is group of scholars many years later as they struggle to piece together what happened.

There is the stark contrast between the deprivations that the shipwrecked people suffered to that of the relative ease in which the researchers live. The dual stories work, as the graphic novel is true. It is a non-fiction graphic novel. The amount of information that the book conveys is quite nice and the art work is lovely.

To Be Free and French

The illustrations were not overly detailed, but the artwork is clean. I found the historical storyline easy to follow, but the modern story is illustrated without cell borders with text crammed between images. The end result felt unnecessarily jumbled and took some getting used to. Beyond that, however, I have not complaints with the book and am happy with the time I spent reading it. A fascinating look at an event that apparently turned the French against the slave trade. A shipwreck leaves Africans who have been captured for the slave trade alone on a small desert island, where some manage to survive for 15 years.

The island has nothing on it, and somehow, they manage to get rain water, and catch fish, and survive. The second story in the book is of Sylvian, the author, flying to the island, to learn by what was left behind, how these people survived. I tended to skip over A fascinating look at an event that apparently turned the French against the slave trade. I tended to skip over those parts, that were sprinkled into the story of the people left behind, because I was more interested in that part of the story. Not sure if this story is well know by the French, but I had never heard of Tromelin, or the people left behind.

Glad that it got translated. Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. This tale of the shipwreck of the the French ship L'Utile in was fascinated.

Les esclaves oubliés de Tromelin by Sylvain Savoia

The cargo of slaves and surviving crew built a raft in which the crew left the island of Tromelin and reached Madagascar. Meanwhile the surviving slaves carried on and after 15 years the remaining 7 women and one child were rescued. The graphics and the story were brilliant. Interspersed with this story was one of an exploration of the island to find evidence of the slaves and how they survived. This second part was This tale of the shipwreck of the the French ship L'Utile in was fascinated. This second part was not as interesting, partially due to the amount of details it contained.

Forget any ideas you might have of romantic desert islands - Tromelin is one mile long by a half mile wide and, other than seabirds, turtles and hermit crabs, there was absolutely nothing there. Alongside the historical tale, we also see Savoia's experience as he accompanies a French archaeological team to Tromelin where they will search for any remaining evidence of the slaves' existence on the island. It's still a pretty bleak place years later. I enjoyed the contrast between the two time periods. Savoia describes his own hopes and reactions to Tromelin as well as vividly recreating what can be pieced together of the original sea voyage and its aftermath.

As readers we are introduced to the other members of the modern-day team, several of whom are returning to Tromelin and one, Joel, is making a film about the excavations and the forgotten slaves. Despite scouring navy archives for any remaining documentation, more is unknown than known so there's plenty that can be learned and extrapolated from unearthed artefacts and buried hut walls.

I didn't realise I would get this narrative alongside the history so this was a real bonus for me. It also means that the Forgotten Slaves graphic novel is a considerably more in depth work than it could have been if only the remnants of the original story were available. I can't begin to imagine how terrifying the whole experience of being ripped from their homes, transported, and then abandoned would have been for the Madagascans.

This is a story that certainly should not be forgotten so reminders such as Savoia's work are vitally important. He manages to make this graphic novel simultaneously sobering but also entertaining which is quite the feat. I loved the expression and emotions put across in his illustrations too. The differing styles clearly demarcate the timelines.

My only criticism would be that the font is very small so I had to keep enlarging and then scrolling the pages, but this is a relatively minor flaw in an otherwise fascinating book. As always, an honest review. I read the entire graphic novel in a day. By nature, they're not too long, but since I hadn't heard about Tromelin before I absolutely had to find out what happened to all the slaves shipwrecked on the island. I'm not a huge fan of graphic novels and comics, because most of them are based on superheroes. However, when I saw this one I knew I had to read it.

I first noticed the illustrations. They're gorgeous, detailed, evocative of so many emotions, and incredibly powerful. They tell the story wonderfully.
