Gehört zur ReiheHaiti Trilogy (3) Prestigeträchtige Auswahlen
The Stone that the Builder Refused is the final volume of Madison Smartt Bell’s masterful trilogy about the Haitian Revolution–the first successful slave revolution in history–which begins with All Souls' Rising (a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award) and continues with Master of the Crossroads.nbsp; Each of these three novels can be read independently of the two others; of the trilogy, The Baltimore Sun has said, “[It] will make an indelible mark on literary history–one worthy of occupying the same shelf as Tolstoy’s War and Peace.” Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Military operations are a chief focus of this book, with two of its four main sections named for particular sites of battle in the conflict by which French General Charles LeClerc sought to reconquer the island on behalf of Napoleon's imperial government. A quartet of French army captains are the most focal of the new characters to be introduced in this last volume. On the whole, these four are not sympathetic characters, although their individual stocks may rise and fall in the estimation of the reader.
The books of this trilogy were published over a span of eight years. My reading, with pauses in between volumes, took merely eight months. But it was still a major reading project, furnishing me with an absorbing and enlightening fiction, grounded in genuinely tragic history.
