Summary: "A Escrava Isaura" by Bernardo Guimarães is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work addresses themes of slavery, social hierarchies, and personal freedom through the poignant story of its main character, Isaura, a beautiful enslaved woman struggling with her identity and desires within a repressive society. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a rich and picturesque estate in Brazil during the reign of Dom Pedro II. The serene environment contrasts sharply with Isaura’s inner turmoil as she expresses her melancholy through song. Her voice captures the attention of Malvina, her mistress, who exhibits a kind friendship towards Isaura, recognizing her beauty and exceptional qualities. Yet, despite Malvina’s kindness, Isaura remains acutely aware of her status as an enslaved person, which weighs heavily on her heart. The opening sets the stage for a conflict between personal desire and societal constraints as the characters navigate the complex and often harsh realities of their lives.
