Summary "L'esclave religieux, et ses avantures" by Antoine Quartier is a novel written in the late 17th century. The book recounts the experiences and suffering of the author during his eight years of captivity in Tripoli, highlighting the cruelties faced by Christian captives in the Muslim world. The narrative aims to raise awareness about the plight of these captives and the importance of charitable acts toward them. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author’s journey, beginning with his youthful desire to travel, which leads him to various Italian cities before his ill-fated embarkation towards Constantinople. During the journey, his ship is attacked by Corsair pirates from Tripoli, resulting in his capture and subsequent enslavement. The author vividly describes the harrowing combat at sea and the emotional turmoil of being sold to an Arab master, introducing readers to the cruel world of captivity that he, and many others like him, experienced firsthand. The reader is led to understand the author's resolve and the theme of faith among the afflicted as he prepares to share his story of suffering and endurance.
