First published anonymously in 1823, Ourika is a poignant and thought-provoking work that explores themes of race, identity, class, gender, and social alienation in 19th-century France. Ourika's unrequited love for Charles adds a layer of emotional depth, underscoring her sense of rejection and hopelessness.

The book, which is one of the earliest French literary works to address race and the psychological effects of racism and exclusion, had a lasting impact on French literature.
