    About this ebook

    "Inkle and Yarico: An opera, in three acts" by George Colman
    After 20-year-old Thomas Inkle finds himself to be the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the West Indies, he is rescued by Yarico, a Carib woman who takes him as her lover. Their erotic encounter between these two, which has a profound effect on both, is explored with a poetic, imaginative intensity that is unmatched without becoming vulgar.
