La mia Cuba

Year: 2006 Pages: 248 A lawyer father of Spanish origin; a half-Jewish Andalusian mother; a Haitian nurse who lights up the imagination of little Eduardo with her stories; a crowd of Catholic and Marxist friends who hate Francisco Franco, who argue and reconcile, who support Fidel Castro or who go into exile... My Cuba is the autobiography of Eduardo Manet, volcanic and lucid intellectual, comañero of the revolutionaries , who after 1968 chose to move to France, disappointed by the evolution of "tropical Marxism". But it is also the portrait of an extraordinarily exuberant - and above all "authentic" - era and country which one cannot help but look at with nostalgia. A kaleidoscopic tale from which emerges an unusual, tender and sensual Cuba, rich in humanity and contrasts, passions and rivalries. The Cuba experienced by the author.
