Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Le récit de l'aventure de Pierre Beaujour et de Jean De Lacroix décrit la situation abominable des réfugiés haïtiens. Pierre et Jean voulaient connaître un meilleur sort mais des obstacles formidables leur barraient le passage, les acculant à la ruine et à la mort. Tout commença une nuit de Juin, au début de l'été. Pierre et Jean quittaient Haïti à la recherche de la fortune. Dans un autre pays, ils espéraient réaliser leur rêve de liberté et de bien-être économique. La Mirabelle, bateau faisant la navette entre Haïti et Les Bahamas, fut le principal théâtre de leur tragédie. Au coeur de la nuit, les deux amis prirent place sur le bateau à destination de Nassau. Ils travaillèrent dans l'île pendant huit ans et accumulèrent assez d'argent pour retourner dans leur pays. Une fois de plus, ils décidèrent de voyager sur le navire; mais une surprise mortelle les attendait: Jean est tué. Grièvement blessé, Pierre est abandonné en pleine mer. Les parents des deux jeunes hommes connurent des heures d'angoisse indescriptible. Chantale, la fiancée de Jean, fut particulièrement secouée par les événements. Ce dernier revenait en Haïti pour l'épouser. Dans la ville de Port-de-Paix, leur histoire d'amour devint légendaire. Au cours des débats publics organisés pour exercer des pressions sur les autorités afin de les porter à arrêter les coupables, Chantale devint la muse des poètes de la ville. Composées de strophes émouvantes, des odes à l'amour relatèrent son histoire pathétique. Gobino Chalamar père, le propriétaire de La Mirabelle, avait des relations politiques lui permettant de poser impunément des actes crapuleux. Lors de leur traversée sur le navire, les deux amis avaient voyagé en sa compagnie et avaient fait l'expérience de sa rage et de son arrogance. A leur retour, Gobino Chalamar fils était le capitaine du bateau. Cruel comme son père, le jeune homme montra un dédain incroyable de la vie humaine. Jean et Pierre se trouvaient sous sa protection et tombèrent victimes de sa cruauté. Leur histoire mémorable a été à l'origine d'événements extraordinaires dans la ville de Port-de-Paix. Sous la pression populaire, les autorités prirent les dispositions nécessaires pour arrêter les coupables. Honnis de leurs compatriotes, ces derniers subirent les conséquences d'une action criminelle qui causa beaucoup de troubles dans la région. Ayant échappé miraculeusement à la mort, Pierre narra l'aventure effroyable au cours de laquelle il faillit perdre la vie. Son récit bouleversant mit en lumière les actions horribles des coyotes de la mer.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jonathan Joe Conway believes the world is governed by crooks and almost all riches are results of financial misdeeds. Incapable of being successful in the world of law-abiding citizens, he decides to get involved in a horrendous criminal enterprise. "I know two kinds of people," he declares cynically. "The abuser and the sucker. The first takes advantage of his God-given brain, the latter is a fool." The belief that good fortune comes to those who have the mental power to outsmart the political system makes him inflexible in his deadly attempt to rob his fellow citizens. His siblings value the same theory. They think that the acquisition of wealth by force is the only way to go when society refuses to give you a break. The argument that the law always reflects the interests of those in positions of power makes them hostile to conventional justice. According to Joe, only ruse and brute force are left to the pariah whose life is crippled by the consequence of socioeconomic alienation. For the Conway brothers, getting a job is another way to circumvent the law. They do not want to work like everybody else, just search around to find what can be plundered. Criminal struggles change them into monsters in the nation. None of them seems to appreciate the horrific nature of their illicit profession. They refuse to acknowledge the equalizing virtue of political morality. Their heartbreaking experiences make it irrelevant. They are intransigent perpetrators of shocking criminal actions. Experts in their illegal business, they do not consider themselves as common criminals. Their skill is superior to the competence of the average offender. Players with a sense of their own importance, they strive for success and distinction. Training, book, and journal are the sources of intelligence by which they endeavor to prevail over the world. Their disdain for amateurism is an ostentation tending to show the superiority of their crew. Joe is brave and dogged. His stunning performance leads to the planning and execution of a crime whose trails of destruction shock the people of Miami. The turmoil caused by an act of monumental proportion drains the energy of law enforcers to the point of mental fatigue. Strong and intelligent, Jonass, the ringleader, is the man who finds efficient means to hurt the world. The gangster who spurns the law of his country is a bandit of breathtaking emotional aptness. He is surprisingly thoughtful but shows incredible audacity in the commission of horrible felonies. His ability to quickly evaluate a difficult situation is the mental strength allowing him to be successful in the most perilous undertaking. He is an expert in the application of criminal theories and becomes a deadly threat to his fellow citizens. The Conway brothers graduated from the colleges of burglary and rape. They are ready to kill and remain unflappable in their wicked effort to plunder the nation. This item is printed on demand.
