Summary

Una breve historia de Cuba por uno de sus más grandes artífices literarios.

Posicionado entre la historia y la poesía en prosa, Guillermo Cabrera Infante repasa los avatares de su Cuba natal desde los tiempos en que la isla surgió del océano hasta los años inmediatamente posteriores a la Revolución. Entre medias, el territorio entra en la historia de la mano de su primera tragedia, el descubrimiento y la conquista, y va dejando documentos de barbarie conforme avanza en la senda de la civilización. En imágenes nítidas y deslumbrantes como diapositivas, Cabrera Infante ofrece viñetas inolvidables de la colonización, la guerra de independencia, la exploración, la tiranía y la moderna lucha política.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A brief history of Cuba by one of its greatest literary architects.
 
Positioned somewhere between history and prose poetry, Guillermo Cabrera Infante reviews the vicissitudes of his native Cuba from the time the island emerged from the sea until the years immediately following the Revolution. At first, the island enters the history books with its first tragedy, discovery and the conquest, and leaves many proofs of barbarism as it advances on the path of civilization. With crisp and dazzling images, like slides, Cabrera Infante offers unforgettable vignettes of colonization, the war for independence, exploration, tyranny, and the modern political struggle.
