About this product

Product Information

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.   Praise for Caribbean   "Michener is a master." -- Boston Herald   "A grand epic . . . [James A. Michener] sympathizes with the struggles of the region's 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

    EXCELLENT BOOK!

    I bought it for a friend for a gift because she & hubby are going to make a trip to the Carribean soon. I had read it and knew it was a great book. Made me want to go there, though that will not happen, I'm sure. She had wanted to read it before she went, as she had heard about it. To read Michener's books before visiting someplace he has written about, is an excellent idea; enhances the trip. Said she was very happy to get it because she has been so busy that she probably wouldn't have had time to get out and get it for herself. Sooooo, GREAT GIFT in this case!!!

    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!
