El lector se introduce en la fascinante atmósfera de la monarquía de Henri Christophe, de la tierra del Vudú y del auge y caída del primer poder negro en América. This was an important book. The structure of it was beautiful, gracefully capturing dozens of years in a relatively short novel. The content was far from graceful: it was raw without gore; it resonated as true without being clogged with facts. It was deeply uncomfortable, at times, but that felt good and necessary, and I was willing to go almost anywhere with Carpentier. The prose was deft and concise. Though the cover heralds it as magical realism, that element plays a minor role in the plot. Carpentier's sparse and factual tone, however, lends strength and continuity to this technique. Hope to reread at some point, though; the pacing and perhaps the circumstances of reading this book led me to take it faster than I would have liked. El reino de este mundo es un alucinante relato en la aventurosa corte real haitiana de Henry Cristophe. Un mundo de pasiones que se desenvuelven un medio de la feroz caricatura de los fastos de la corte bonapartista, construida con los elementos casi salvajes de una isla antillana en la que la tiranía ha cambiado brutalmente de nombre y en la que los ecos del tam-tam repercuten en el latón de los uniformes y en las borlas de las bordadas mitras de fingidos obispos. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"After its liberation from harsh French rule in 1803, Haiti endured a period of great brutality under Henri Christophe, who was born a slave but rose to become the first black king in the Western Hemisphere. In this unnerving novel, Henri Christophe's oppressive rule is observed through the eyes of the elderly slave Ti Nol. Ranging across the country, searching for true liberation, Ti Nol finds himself confronted with bloody revolutions, maniacal rulers, and the mysterious power of voodoo magic. The Kingdom of this World is widely recognized as a masterpiece of Cuban and Caribbean literature. Pablo Medina's remarkable new translation renders the dreamlike prose of Alejo Carpentier with nuance and felicity while delivering anew a powerful, visionary, and singularly twisted novel about the birth of modern Haiti: a tale of race, erotomania, mysticism, and madness."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
