Anthony Adverse, marchand d'esclaves
Anthony Adverse
En Italie, vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle, Denis Moore, un jeune officier, devient l'amant de Maria Bonnyfeather, femme de Don Luis. Ce dernier tue son rival en duel et sa femme meurt en donnant naissance à un enfant, né de l'union des deux amants. Cet enfant, abandonné par Don Luis à la porte d'un couvent et élevé là, sera nommé Anthony Adverse et connaîtra bien des aventures. Au service de John Bonnyfeather, son grand-père maternel, armateur de navires à Livourne, il tombera amoureux d'Angela Guisseppi, partira en mer et, avide de richesse, deviendra trafiquant d'esclaves à Cuba, où l'assassinat d'un moine missionnaire provoquera sa rédemption. Puis, débarqué en France, il retrouvera son ancien amour, Angela, découvrira qu'elle a un fils, dont il est le père, et qu'elle est devenue une cantatrice célébrée et la maîtresse de Napoléon Bonaparte. Il repartira alors en mer, emmenant avec lui son fils.
