«Le quatrième siècle» is a novel by French writer Édouard Glissant, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (306 pages, in French).
In the 1940s, Papa Longoué and Mathieu Béluse reconstruct from memory the arrival in Fort-de-France of the slave ship that brought their families from Africa. The rivalry between the Longoué and Béluse families spans four centuries and condenses the memory of slavery, the opacity of colonial history, and rootedness in the Caribbean.
Le quatrième siècle was originally published in 1964; this 1990 edition belongs to the L'Imaginaire collection (no. 233).
For readers of literary fiction interested in colonial history and Caribbean identity.
