Beschreibung
Claire de Durfort duchesse de Duras's novel 'Ourika' is a poignant exploration of race and identity in 19th century France. Written in a lyrical and romantic style, the book follows the story of a young Senegalese girl, Ourika, who is adopted by a French family and raised as a noblewoman. As Ourika struggles to navigate the complexities of her dual identity, the novel delves into themes of alienation, belonging, and the constraints of societal expectations. 'Ourika' is considered a pioneering work of French Romanticism and a powerful critique of racism and colonialism in French society. The novel's intimate portrayal of the protagonist's inner turmoil and search for self-acceptance makes it a timeless and thought-provoking read.
