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 Columbuss arrival to buccaneer Henry Morgans notorious reign, from the bloody slave revolt on Haiti to the rise of Cubas 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. Praise for Caribbean Michener is a master. -- Boston Herald A grand epic . . . [James A. Michener] sympathizes with the struggles of the regions most oppressed, and succeeds in presenting the Caribbean in its rich diversity. -- The Plain Dealer Remarkable and praiseworthy . . . utterly engaging. -- The Washington Post Book World Even American tourists familiar with some of the serene islands will find themselves enlightened. . . . In Caribbean, there appears to be a strong aura of truth behind the storytelling. -- The New York Times
