Fernand Hibbert is considered a pioneer of the Haitian novel. His works, full of satire and wit, sought to criticize the corrupt powers of the day while painting an accurate, often beautiful portrait of Haitian society at the start of the twentieth century. Born in Mirago�ne in 1873, Hibbert studied in Paris before teaching history and French literature at Lyc�e P�tion. He had a successful diplomatic career as Minister of Foreign Relations and later Minister Plenipotentiary to Cuba, and was later Secretary of State for Public Education. He contributed to newspapers and literary reviews, wrote several novels, plays and short stories, helping to establish a uniquely Haitian literary culture. ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: Matthew Robertshaw studies history and French literature at the University of Guelph. A brief visit to the country in 2011 led him to direct his studies toward Haiti's unique history and literature. Noticing the virtual absence of English translation, Matthew set to translating, starting with Fernand Hibbert's Romulus, and is currently working on his second translation. He lives in Cambridge, Ontario with his wife and dog.
