SynopsisIn 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.

Disappointing
Talk about missing the mark! I guess I expected to read about the PEOPLE of the Caribbean but what I got was a dry, flat, sad account of a bunch of greedy, bigoted Englishmen who conveniently convinced themselves that the rest of us have no souls and therefore could be brutalized, exploited, and treated like worthless animals. Few characters showed a hint compassion for anyone but themselves. Selfishness and self-righteousness carried the day. This book left me feeling like organized religion has a lot to answer for!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
