One of Latin America's most remarkable historical novels delves into the profound impact of the French Revolution on the Caribbean. At the end of the eighteenth century, Victor Hugues, a merchant sailor hailing from Marseille, arrives in Cuba carrying not only the idealism of the French Revolution but also its fervent ambition and thirst for violence. Landing at the doorstep of three affluent Creole adolescent orphans in Havana, he embarks on a journey across the Caribbean Sea, leading them to Guadeloupe, amidst the sweeping global transformations that are reshaping their lives in Havana. As Victor's ideals undergo a gradual distortion to align with shifting policies, the trio finds it impossible to endure his betrayal of revolutionary principles. What unfolds in this mesmerizing masterpiece serves as a chilling testament to the mesmerizing and corrupting allure of power.
