Pressestimmen
Washington Black is a profoundly humane story about false idols, the fickleness of fortune and whether a slave, once freed, can ever truly be free. * The Times * A lush, exhilarating travelogue reminiscent of Jules Verne . . . Edugyan, like her hero, can paint an indelible scene * New Yorker * A full-pelt adventure story featuring hot-air balloon crashes, blizzards in the Arctic, scientific discovery, knife fights in dark alleys, bounty hunters and forbidden romance * Sunday Times * Washington Black is a brilliantly absorbing picaresque; a book that combines the unflinching depiction of violence with a lyrical, hallucinatory beauty. -- Sandra Newman Wondrous ... gripping ... vivid and captivating * Economist * Magnificent and strikingly visual prose * Financial Times * Washington Black is a gripping adventure and an atmospheric portrayal of 1830s society at both the fringes of the world and the heart of the British Empire -- John Boyne A pacey yet thoughtful exploration of freedom, and our moral compulsion to act * Spectator * Exquisite -- Boris Kachka * New York Magazine * An engrossing hybrid of 19th-century adventure and contemporary subtlety, a rip-roaring tale of peril imbued with our most persistent strife . . . Edugyan is a magical writer * Washington Post * A towering achievement . . . Edugyan is one of our sharpest and deepest writers of historical fiction * Entertainment Weekly * Edugyan's genius here is that she's found an urgent, fresh way of writing the antebellum novel . . . A romping yarn, beautifully and evocatively written, the narrative spinning along at a glorious pace. -- Lucy Scholes * The National * Astonishing . . . Washington Black's presence in these pages is fierce and unsettling. His urge to live all he can is matched by his eloquence. * The New York Times * In a story that is escapist, as well as poignant and political, Edugyan enjoys taking her readers where they are least expecting to go . . . Like the best historical fiction, it shines a light on the present as well as the past. * Irish Independent * Washington Black is made vivid by Esi Edugyan's gifts for language and character, and by the strength of her story ... The reader feels honoured and moved to have kept Wash company on his journeying * New Statesman * At the core of this novel, with its searing, supple prose and superb characters, is a visceral depiction of the abomination of slavery. Yet, as importantly, it explores an unlikely friendship, the limits to understanding another's suffering, the violence lurking in humans and the glories of adventure in a world full of wonders. -- Elizabeth Buchan * Daily Mail *

The time span of this novel is from 1830-1836 with a plot line divided into four distinct sections. The story begins on the Faith Plantation in Barbados where sugar cane is grown and harvested. This section is brilliantly written! Edugyan is unsparing in her portrayal of the physical and emotional brutality of slavery. The reader meets George Washington Black, a six year old child born into slavery. Wash's family is unknown to him and his desperation to "belong to" another human being is palpable. A Dahomean slave named "Big Kit" takes on the "role" of mother. Serendipitously, Wash is chosen by the younger brother of the plantation owner, to serve as his scientific assistant. Under the watchful eye of Christopher "Titch" WIlde, the boy learns some reading and math skills, but especially hones his ability to draw natural objects. After the two prepare for a trip aloft in a hot-air balloon, the novel begins to unravel..The reader is forced to suspend all credibility from that point onward. Titch and Wash are saved in a storm from the sinking "Cloud-cutter", sail up the coast of the United States and elude a bounty hunter by escaping to the Arctic. Wash wends his way alone to Nova Scotia only to meet up with a marine biologist and his daughter. There is more travel on deck for Wash to Europe and even Morocco. There are too many characters and dead-end story meanderings in too many venues. It absolutely dispels the major themes of the effects of slavery and the need to belong to a family. Sadly, a great start has a very unsatisfying finish.
You know a book is good if it stays with you a few days after reading it. The author, without being at all obvious about it, leads us through a story that has many levels and explorations of what it means to be "captive". Captive to a slave owner, captive to a concept, captive in an exhibit. It looks at what it takes to be truly free.This is my first book by Edugyan. It won't be my last.
Washington Black is an unusual hybrid of a book – an adventure-fraught, adrenaline-pumping tale that also incorporates the horrors of slavery, the joys of scientific discovery, and a coming of age journey. Yet, it all works.Briefly, a look at the plot: a 12-year-old slave named George Washington Black (nicknamed Wash) , by a streak of fortune, falls under the protection of the cruel owner’s brother, Christopher (Titch) Wilde, who is far more enlightened with a scientific bend. After a nail-biting plot twist, the two end up in the heart of the frozen Arctic and eventually, Wash’s travels take him to places near and far.There are surprises along the way and characters that we thought we had seen the last of who pop up in unexpected places. To say much more, I think, would constitute a spoiler (and there are spoilers galore on this book out there.)If the book has a theme and a motto, it would be the words of Titch to Wash, who early on reveals himself to be a meticulous artist: “Be faithful to what you see, and not what you are supposed to see.â€quintessential question becomes: who is Wash, anyway? Someone to be exploited? Someone to be saved? Or perhaps someone who is in a constant journey of self-discovery, recognizing, ultimately, that “life had never belonged to any of us…we had been estranged from the potential of our own bodies, from the revelation of everything our bodies and minds could accomplish.†Therein lies the tragedy—and the majesty—of Esi Edugyan’s soaring book.
George Washington Black, Wash, for short, is an unlikely world traveler, inquisitive observer of nature, and gifted artist because of his beginnings as a slave on a sugar cane plantation. However, an encounter with Titch, fellow scientist and traveler, changes the direction of Wash’s fate. A compelling narrative, Washington Black is the kind of novel that makes me want to go back and reread it as soon as I finished. Themes of pain and suffering we both experience and inflict resound through the story. Often bitter and horrific, the story nonetheless is hopeful and even darkly comic at times. This is a truly unique read.
After considerable discussion earlier about the lifting power of hydrogen for the Cloud-cutter, the first ascent of the balloon is accomplished by hot air. On p 104 we have: "Then, without another word, he [Titch]adjusted the canister. A higher column of fire surged upwards into the canopy, and the fabric began to shudder and shake."I imagine it would have done, if the hydrogen-filled Hindenberg is anything to go by. Are there no copy editors in today's world?
