San Diego. 1986. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0151955980. Translated from the German by Ralph Manheim. 304 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Caribbean Germany Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER-A sparkling first novel set against the background of turbulent Haiti. This is the fascinating story of a French officer sent to Haiti by Napoleon to arrest Toussaint L'Ouverture, the leader of a slave revolt. It is also a historically documented account of a quarrel between Haitian police and a German colonist that escalates into a grotesque diplomatic incident. And it is a brilliant story about the author's grandfather-a pharmacist who emigrated to Haiti in 1899-and his family; his wife, Pauline, who is first restored to health and then mysteriously undone by voodoo magic; Aunt Toni, whose engagement to a German officer triggers a political scandal; Uncle G., who bombs the presidential palace and then disappears with his plane into the Bermuda Triangle, never to be heard from again. These fantastic tales one and all merge seamlessly into an exotic, outrageous, witty reality and a beguiling family saga. inventory #31083.
