Aliases. Fraudsters. Confidence tricksters. People pretending to be what they are not, for financial, political or personal gain. Fiction is filled with them to entertain us; but would not be anywhere near as believable if such people had not, in reality, existed since time immemorial. In this work, the famous Bram Stoker throws light on just a few such people, who have tricked their way into the annals of history. - Summary by Lynne Thompson

Toussaint L’Ouverture: A Biography and Autobiography by John Relly BEARD (1800 - 1876) Genre(s): War & Military, Biography & Autobiography, Early Modern Read by: James K. White in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 20 - Book II, Chapter VI 00:24:24 - 21 - Book II, Chapter VII 01:00:13 - 22 - Book III, Chapter I 01:18:22 - 23 - Book III, Chapter II 02:01:43 - 24 - Book III, Chapter III 02:36:26 - 25 - Book III, Chapter IV 03:22:07 - 26 - Book III, Chapter V 04:03:46 - 27 - Book IV, Memoir of General Toussant L'Ouverture Written By Himself (part 1) 05:04:16 - 28 - Book IV, Memoir of General Toussant L'Ouverture Written By Himself (part 2) 05:21:05 - 29 - Notes And Testimonies (part 1) 05:56:52 - 30 - Notes And Testimonies (part 2) François-Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743-1803) rose to fame in 1791 during the Haitian struggle for independence. In this revolt, he led thousands of slaves on the island of Hispañola to fight against the colonial European powers of France, Spain and England. The former slaves ultimately established the independent state of Haiti and expelled the Europeans. L'Ouverture eventually became the governor and Commander-In-Chief of Haiti before recognizing and submitting to French rule in 1801. In June of 1802, L'Ouverture was arrested by French forces and taken to France where he was imprisoned at Joux. There he penned his autobiography '. . . to render to the French government an exact account of my conduct.' L'Ouverture died in prison on April 7, 1803 from pneumonia.Although L'Ouverture died a captive of the French, the revolution he led was historically perhaps the most significant world event opposing slavery. It precipitated a re-examination--among the major European powers as well as those in the new world--of the right of all mankind to be free and self-governing.John Relly Beard, an English minister, wrote The Life of Toussaint L'Ouverture and published it in London in 1853. Ten years later, the biography was re-published and augmented to include L'Ouverture's 35-page translated autobiography--along with other documents and contributions by public officials--and was re-published in Boston. This reconstituted edition was titled, Toussaint L'Ouverture: A Biography and Autobiography. (Introduction by James K.

Burton extensively criticized colonial policies (to the detriment of his career) in his works and letters. He was a prolific and erudite author and wrote numerous books and scholarly articles about subjects including human behavior, travel, fencing, sexual practices, and ethnography. A unique feature of his books is the copious footnotes and appendices containing remarkable observations and unexpurgated information.
