Sobre este artículo
This Book, entitled "Caribbean" is another great Novel by one of America's most prolific authors, James Michener. In this work, Michener concentrates on the history of the islands of the Caribbean and brings his characters to importance through his talent for storytelling. Many of Michener's Books have become the basis for movies and he has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and numerous honorary doctorate degrees.
Sinopsis
A typical Michener *roman a clef* spanning several hundred years of history of the Caribbean region. Starting with a few chapters of the indigenous history, it evolves to follow the fortunes of families from England, Spain, France and Africa as their experiences as plantation owners, imperial administrators and naval officers, slaves and freemen intertwine over the years to the time of publication of the novel (1980s). From a historical perspective, it educates on the role of sugar in the colonization of the various islands such as Jamaica and Haiti and how the legacy of colonization affects the culture and economic health of the current nations. One particularly interesting set of vignettes is devoted to the Caribbean service of the British naval hero Horatio Nelson.
