Island That Disappeared

Long forgotten in England, Providence Island is a microcosm of the 400-year-old Atlantic story, a narrative of colonial struggle and empire, slavery and drugs, pirates and puritans and amazing reversals of fortunes. At once intimate and global, this book casts new light on the part England played in the making of the modern world.

Uitata de mult in Anglia, Insula Providenta este un microcosmos al povestii atlantice vechi de 400 de ani, o naratiune despre lupta si imperiul colonial, sclavia si drogurile, piratii si puritanii si inversarea uimitoare a averilor. In acelasi timp intima si globala, aceasta carte arunca o noua lumina asupra rolului pe care l-a jucat Anglia in crearea lumii moderne.
