«Sab» is the romantic and anti-slavery novel by Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
An anti-slavery novel that follows the patterns of Romanticism: it combines autobiographical memories with literary models to denounce the harsh life of Black people, show solidarity with the Indians victims of Spanish barbarism, and turn feeling into social testimony.

Recommended for readers of classic novels, Romanticism, and nineteenth-century Hispanic literature.
