La Florida y República Dominicana están unidas por su cercanía humana, cultural y geográfica desde hace muchos siglos. Ahora, estos inigualables escritores refuerzan esa unión fraterna con esta selección de cuentos: Sin distancia. De sus diferentes estilos nace la alquimia de los cinco formulando literaturas imperecederas. Tres hombres y dos mujeres: Osvaldo Fernández, Eugenio Fortunato, José E. García, Genoveva Del Orbe y Nancy Mejías crean cuentos que poseen el tesón, el valor suficiente para sembrar germinados relatos en la Florida y nuestra media isla, cuentos que son aptos para aire y mar, para isla, península y continente. Su narrativa clara y expresiva, realista e imaginaria, nos reconecta con ese nuevo mundo que es y será siempre América. Mercedes Morales

En este nuevo escenario, diversas condiciones se articularon para que Imbert se agenciara un ilimitado poder, tales como la debilidad de las fuerzas dominantes, el vacío de poder existente, su recia personalidad que se sumaba a la condición de héroe nacional, su innegable vocación, el haber asumido en los albores del conflicto bélico la representación de los militares de San Isidro, la urgencia que tenían los norteamericanos de instalar un gobierno títere que sirviera de contrapeso al gobierno de Caamaño y, por último, sus tradicionales y conocidos vínculos con la Embajada de los Estados Unidos y sus agregados militares. Todo lo anterior le confería a Imbert un talante por encima de sus congéneres, capaz de infundir pavor tanto a los líderes políticos como a los militares. Las no disimuladas ambiciones políticas de Imbert se cristalizaron tras el estallido de la Revolución de Abril de 1965, cuando el emisario del presidente Lyndon B. Johnson, John Bartlow Martin, lo catapultó al poder, con la aquiescencia de los poderes fácticos que dominaban la sociedad dominicana en esta etapa.
