The Kingdom of This World Carpentier AlejoPaperback
A masterful new translation of a haunting novel of nineteenth-century HaitiA few years after its liberation from harsh French colonial rule in 1803, Haiti endured a period of great brutality under the reign of King Henri Christophe, who was born a slave but rose to become the first black king in the Western Hemisphere. As he ranges across the country searching for true liberation, Ti No l navigates bloody revolutions, maniacal rulers with false visions of grandeur, and the mysterious power of voodoo magic.First published in English translation in 1957, The Kingdom of This World is now widely recognized as a masterpiece of Cuban and Caribbean In this unnerving novel from one of Cuba's most celebrated authors, Henri Christophe's oppressive rule is observed through the eyes of the elderly slave Ti No l, who suffers abuse from masters both white and black.
