New York:: Macmillan,, 1939.. Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in black cloth with red endpapers (some toning to the pages, rubbing to the lettering on the spine, but a tight and straight copy).. First printing. The third novel by this writer closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance, although at the time this was written he was living in Chicago, where he was also influential in the Chicago Renaissance. Set in Saint Domingue in 1791 at the beginning of the Haitian rebellion, this focuses on the white, privileged people of French descent rather than on Toussaint L'Overture, the leader of the revolution. At the end, Toussaint is instrumental in helping his friend, the young French hero, Diron, escape with Celeste, the girl he loves. 226 pp. Surprisingly uncommon in the first edition.
