Synopsis
In this acclaimed classic novel, James A. Michener sweeps readers off to the Caribbean, bringing to life the eternal allure and tumultuous history of this glittering string of islands. From the 1310 conquest of the Arawaks by cannibals to the decline of the Mayan empire, from Columbus's arrival to buccaneer Henry Morgan's notorious reign, from the bloody slave revolt on Haiti to the rise of Cuba's Fidel Castro, Caribbean packs seven hundred dramatic years into a tale teeming with revolution and romance, authentic characters and thunderous destinies. Through absorbing, magnificent prose, Michener captures the essence of the islands in all of their awe-inspiring scope and wonder.

- h***j (2363)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseItem arrived timely, well packaged, in good condition, and was as described. My only disappointment was that I ordered 3 cd's from the seller, and I asked for combined shipping and the seller agreed. Seller deducted $1.38 from the original shipping of $13.89, resulting in a charge of $12.51 to ship 3 cd's (weighing 11 oz.) That was not what reputable sellers would consider to be "combined" shipping. I ordered anyway. My fault for not clarifying with the seller. what combined shipping meant.Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari : Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari: Divertimento - SACD - CPO (#255629538879)
