The journey of an uncommon character, land at Bilbao before being known as the first black artist to meet with success in Paris!

My name is Chocolat!

Author : Bénédicte Rivière
111 pages
130 x 230

My name is Rafael and I was born in Cuba. I am the son of runaway slaves. When I was a child, I lived in Havana, at Old Jaba’s house.
But one day, she sold me to a Portuguese merchant. To reassure me, she told me that I would be free once in Europe, that slavery didn’t exist there. And here I am on a boat, sailing towards the Old Continent !
It’s on this ship’s deck that I found Habana, my seagull. It was injured, so I healed it.
Quickly, she shared all my adventures. Because my life has been incredible ! I, the slaves’ son, the child everybody used to point at, I was going to be the first black artist to become famous and be applauded by the Paris smart set…

From Cuba to Paris, including Bilbao, discover the heart-rending destiny of Rafael, known as Chocolat, the very first black clown who be successful in Europe. If it’s in Paris that Chocolat embraced an artistic career, it’s in Spain, his welcome land, that everything began. Nicknamed on his arrival on the continent “El Rubio”, the young boy reveals his acting and dancing skills for the first time in Bilbao.

In tribute to the clown Chocolat, Bénédicte Rivière gives a portrayal of the first black artist who distinguish himself on the french scene and of all of those who crossed his path or shared his life. Through these pages appears the journey of an mind-blowing character across Cuban and Spanish lands, who makes his way right in the heart of Paris during the “Belle Époque” (end of 19th century), a period marked by its social and cultural evolutions.

A story that has recently been adapted for film in the eponym movie Monsieur Chocolat, played by Omar Sy, that children will have the pleasure to rediscover through this novel.
