Желтая жена

Fibi Dolores Braun, dochʹ chernokozheĭ znakharki i belogo vladelʹt͡sa plantat͡sii, sovsem ne chuvstvuet sebi͡a rabyneĭ: ona vkhozha v gospodskiĭ dom, sestra khozi͡aina uchit ee gramote i muzyke, a sam on obeshchaet datʹ docheri volʹnui͡u, posle togo kak toĭ ispolnitsi͡a vosemnadt͡satʹ let. No mstitelʹnai͡a zhena plantatora otpravli͡aet ee na nevolʹnichiĭ aukt͡sion, i togda Fibi prikhoditsi͡a osoznatʹ vesʹ uzhas svoego polozhenii͡a. Izbitai͡a i unizhennai͡a, devushka popadaet v ti͡urʹmu Lapʹe - strashnoe mesto, gde chernokozhimi torgui͡ut, kak skotom… Tak nachinaetsi͡a tikhai͡a voĭna Fibi Braun: nezametnai͡a bitva khrabroĭ malenʹkoĭ zhenshchiny protiv nasilii͡a, nadrugatelʹstva, lishenii͡a chelovecheskogo dostoinstva odnikh li͡udeĭ drugimi - protiv rabstva.

Phoebe Dolores Brown, the daughter of a black witch doctor and a white plantation owner, does not feel like a slave at all: she enters the manor house, the owner's sister teaches her to read and write and music, and he himself promises to give his daughter freedom after she turns eighteen. But the vindictive planter's wife sends her to a slave auction, and then Phoebe has to realize the horror of her situation. Beaten and humiliated, the girl ends up in Lapierre prison, a terrible place where blacks are traded like cattle… This is how Phoebe Brown's silent war begins: an inconspicuous battle of a brave little woman against violence, abuse, and the deprivation of human dignity of some people by others — against slavery.
