“Sab” by Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda
“Eleven years before Uncle Tom's Cabin dealt with the issue of the abolition of slavery in North America, Avellaneda wrote an unhappy love story between a mulatto slave and the daughter of his white owner. The book was so controversial that it was not published in Cuba until 1914, seventy-three years after its appearance in Spain.
Taken from The book house.
