Otros libros de esta maravillosa naci\u00f3n del Pac\u00edfico est\u00e1n escritos en franc\u00e9s, adem\u00e1s del nativo malgache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Es una ficci\u00f3n hist\u00f3rica, pero no hay ficci\u00f3n en la forma en que describe brutalmente la esclavitud en Madagascar. Tambi\u00e9n es una novela sobre la mayor\u00eda de edad, una novela de viaje de h\u00e9roe, una novela de amor, una novela sobre una naci\u00f3n. Lo recomiendo absolutamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:23% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/the-running-ginger.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BeyondTheRiceFields-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Recommended book for travelling to Madagascar: &quot;Beyond the rice fields&quot;, by Tsivo.\" class=\"wp-image-4046 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-running-ginger.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BeyondTheRiceFields-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/the-running-ginger.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BeyondTheRiceFields-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/the-running-ginger.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BeyondTheRiceFields-768x1151.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/the-running-ginger.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BeyondTheRiceFields-8x12.jpeg 8w, https:\/\/the-running-ginger.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BeyondTheRiceFields.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong><em>Resumen de la trama: <\/em><\/strong>Fara y el esclavo de su padre, Tsito, han sido cercanos desde que su padre compr\u00f3 al ni\u00f1o despu\u00e9s de que su aldea en el bosque fuera destruida.
