在线阅读本书 When Prince Oroonoko�s passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonoko�s noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behn�s visit to Surinam, Oroonoko reflects the author�s romantic views of native peoples as being in �the first state of innocence, before man knew how to sin.� The novel also reveals Behn�s ambiguous attitude toward slavery: while she favored it as a means to strengthen England�s power, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality.
