Sinopse

A mediados de los años sesenta, dos jóvenes haitianos fueron fusilados a las afueras del cementerio nacional de Puerto Príncipe frente a una multitud convocada por la dictadura de François "Papa Doc" Duvalier. La escritora haitiano-estadounidense Edwidge Danticat no recuerda cuándo escuchó por primera vez sobre esta ejecución convertida en espectáculo, pero sí que siempre la ha perseguido y obsesionado. Crear en peligro enlaza esta y otras historias que transcurren entre su país natal y Estados Unidos, su país adoptivo. Es un conjunto de ensayos literarios que exploran las vidas de artistas migrantes en momentos de crisis y diáspora, artistas que crean en peligro para gente que lee en peligro. Edwidge Danticat ha desarrollado una prosa nutrida de voces orales y cosmopolitas, de tradiciones narradas en inglés, creol y francés. Su originalidad la ha consolidado como una de las escritoras internacionales más celebradas y premiadas de su generación.

Some of the stories are hilarious; others are thought-provoking, while others are likely to evoke other different types of emotions as the story unfolds. A common thread across all the stories is that each experience contains one or more valuable life lessons.

    Kipling became involved in the debate over the British response to the rise in German naval power known as the Tirpitz Plan to build a fleet to challenge the Royal Navy, publishing a series of articles in 1898 which were collected as "A Fleet in Being". And as always with Kipling there is that wonderful sardonic humor and attention to the lower orders of being.
