In his first novel published in 2012, Haiti: Tragic Birth, 1779-1803, Jacques Salès told the insurrection of slaves started almost with bare hands in 1793 which, for the first time in the history of humanity, has led to the defeat of a great colonialist nation and to the proclamation of independence, under the name of Haiti, of the colony of Saint-Domingue until then the pride of France. From historical elements to which he adds a romantic touch, Jacques Salès recounts today the forty years, 1804-1843, which followed the independence of Haiti. Years during which the wounds opened during colonization then the war of independence did not stop bleeding. In particular, it makes us experience the massacre of the Whites who remained on the island after the evacuation of the French expeditionary force; the assassination of Emperor Dessalines; the proclamation of the Republic by Pétion; the tyranny then the tragedy of King Christopher; the help given by Alexandre Pétion to the Liberator Simon Bolivar; the obstacles raised by the United States to the recognition of Haiti as a sovereign state; the interminable negotiations with France for the normalization of relations between the two countries; the conquest of the Spanish part of the island; the beginnings of the first republican institutions; the intrigues, conspiracies, taking of arms, splits, killings, carnage and civil wars which marked this period and which explain that Haiti sank into permanent crisis and poverty.
