Alec Waugh first observed the Western world Indies on a trip round the world, in 1926, when his dispatch called in at Guadeloupe. Fifteen months later he went back for a long stay at Martinique; it was the start of a lifelong affinity for these interesting islands that were to provide him with the materials for many literature and articles. In The Sugars Islands, a book to be dipped into at leisure, Mr. Waugh has determined parts from his writings, with the motive of compiling both a travelogue (there's a wealth of interesting information for the would-be traveller about the ways of life and customs of every island) and a chronological commentary on the development of the islands during the last 30 years. The audiobook is split into four parts. Inside the first, the writer gives a concept of the background of the Western world Indies by pulling an in depth picture of the colourful life of Martinique. He instructs the story of your 17th-century Frenchman who joined up with the famous pirates of Tortuga and the annals of the long bloodbath that preceded the declaration of independence of Haiti, the African american Republic. The next part of the book comprises four figure sketches, including three tales of dark-colored magic, and two portions deal with the individual elegance and interest of every of the hawaiian islands: Montserrat, Barbados, Anguilla, Trinidad, St. Vincent, Tortola, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Saba, Antigua, Dominica, and Puerto Rico. Alec Waugh (1898-1981) was a United kingdom novelist given birth to in London and informed at Sherborne Open public College, Dorset. Waugh's first novel, The Loom of Youngsters (1917), is a semi-autobiographical bill of public-school life that caused some controversy at the time and resulted in his expulsion. Waugh was the only son ever to be expelled from The Old Shirburnian World. Despite preparing this record, Waugh went on to become the successful writer of over 50 works, and resided in many exotic places throughout his life which later became the settings for a few of his texts. He was also a noted wine connoisseur and campaigned to make the cocktail party a normal feature of 1920s cultural life.
