This is the story of a West Indies slave as told from the perspective of an English gentleman, written by Aphra Benn in 1688. The prose, as is typical of popular 17th century British writing, can be somewhat dense and wandering; the story goes into great detail about the life and struggles of a caribbean slave during the period.
