The Kingdom of This World

A Fiction, Magical Realism, Historical book. Tendr que seguir lavando las calderas? Tendr que seguir comiendo bambes? Como salidas de las entraas, las interrogaciones...

A few years after its liberation from French colonialist rule, Haiti experienced a period of unsurpassed brutality, horror, and superstition under the reign of the black King Henri-Christophe. Through the eyes of the ancient slave Ti-Noel, The Kingdom of This World records the destruction of the black regime--built on the same corruption and contempt for human life that brought down the French--in an orgy of voodoo, race hatred, erotomania, and fantastic grandeurs of false elegance.
