Synopsis
Novela calificada por Mario Vargas Llosa como una de las mas acabadas que haya producido la lengua espanola, EL REINO DE ESTE MUNDO (1949) recrea de forma incomparable los acontecimientos que, a caballo entre los siglos xviii y xix, precedieron y siguieron a la independencia haitiana. Estimulado por la prodigiosa historia original y valiendose de un magistral dominio de los recursos narrativos, Alejo Carpentier (19041980) embarca al lector, merced al poder de su palabra, en un mundo exuberante, desaforado y legendario en el que brillan con luz propia el licantropo Mackandal, en quien se conjugan la rebelion popular y los poderes sobrenaturales, y el dictador Henri Christophe, quien alumbro en su palacio de SansSouci y la ciudadela de La Ferriø ¨re arquitecturas dignas de Piranesi.
