Though probably too tangential, the most famous great-grandfather of Alexander Pushkin, Russia's national poet, was a Black African.

How interesting, wouldn't have guessed!
As long as we don't have a book by or about him, yes, I'm afraid it's a bit too obscure a reference.

May be something from the prolific Alexandre Dumas?
There are works in French but also in English and Spanish
https://librivox.org/author/431?primary_key=431&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results
One with a potential relevant title but may be not contents is the Black Tulip.
Or someone (else) from this collection of biographies Unsung Heroes

Hello!
I'd like to recommend a very bright, funny and misterious Christmas Eve read in Ukrainian as a solo https://librivox.org/2-evenings-on-a-farm-near-dikanka-christmas-eve-by-nikolai-vasilievich-gogol/ which I feel would be especially appropriate for winter)
Thank you

Thank you! I have just watched a very old silent movie based on that story - it is fun indeed!
Cheers, Ava.

The staff has picked for February - thanks for your many suggestions! Please have a look at this page for the current pickings. You can also check out our wiki page for a plain vanilla list that will contain all the staff picks for this year plus the readers once I get around to set it up...
After this rather dark and serious topic we should lighten up a little - let's go on a little pulpy romp with
Science Fiction and Outer Space
So, for the next month, I'd like to see suggestions about space explorations, strange suns and planets, aliens of course, robots, time travel, utopias... As long as it's fun and light, it'll be great.
Especially welcome are suggestions of plays and poetry.
As always: All languages welcome!

Do you want PD-worldwide? There's so much that's only PD in the USA.
This one's a play, but only PD in the USA and Canada (and other Life+50 countries): https://librivox.org/rur-rossums-universal-robots-by-karel-capek/

School fiction: David Blaize

Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart

I focus on PD US because most of the pulp we have is from the 50s. Can't be helped. Some of these might be pd Australia though. I know a handful of other language sci-fi too, but more ideas are welcome! If all else fails, there's always Jules Verne.
Edit: That one's not PD Canada - check the translator...
