In this acclaimed classic novel, James A. Michener sweeps readers off to the Caribbean, bringing to life the eternal allure and tumultuous history of this glittering string of islands. From the 1310 conquest of the Arawaks by cannibals to the decline of the Mayan empire, from Columbus’s arrival to buccaneer Henry Morgan’s notorious reign, from the bloody slave revolt on Haiti to the rise of Cuba’s Fidel Castro, Caribbean packs seven hundred dramatic years into a tale teeming with revolution and romance, authentic characters and thunderous destinies. Through absorbing, magnificent prose, Michener captures the essence of the islands in all of their awe-inspiring scope and wonder.

As always Mitchener makes a world region come to life. The Caribean is an ideal object for Michener’s writing style because it offers a huge selection of completely different cultures and dramatic historic events of great historic relevance . Once again Mitchener opened my eyes to the many possible perspectives with which one can look at the same historic events, always through most sympathetic and entertaining human stories.

As with all other works by this author, which I have encountered before, he again wrote up pictures, taking me on a ride to actually visit all these great spits and epochs.
