Главный герой этого произведения, развивающего традиции галантного романа, — негритянский принц Оруноко, отправляющийся в Новый Свет на поиски проданной в рабство возлюбленной Имоинды и ради любви к ней сам становящийся невольником. Не вынеся жестокого обращения, он поднимает восстание рабов, во время которого погибает Имоинда. Схваченный рабовладельцами, Оруноко подвергается нечеловеческим пыткам (которые переносит со стоическим спокойствием) и умирает. Образ Оруноко считается одним из ранних образцов «благородного дикаря» в европейской литературе.
