Book Description
Excerpt from Letters From Cuba: By a Son to His Mother; Issued for Private Circulation At five on the morning of the fifteenth I was up; the noise of the deck hands washing the deck was more persuading than an alarm clock for early ris ing. At seven A. M. I viewed a cloud bank on the distant horizon, thinking it was Cuba; but no, an hour must pass. In the meantime I breakfasted heartily and was in nowise crowded, for many were sick, overcome by the heat. It looked like mal de mer, but we were charitable and allowed the delusion to remain. The gentle roll and pitch of our slow moving vessel, as she crossed aslant the ground swells, made me think of the early days when we boys paddled our canoes out in the middle of the stream. When the steamboats passed, to catch the rollies. After breakfast I gazed over the rail and watch ed the flying fish disport as if they were swal lows, and now and then a larger fish rise above its element. The flying fish flew full fifty feet, if not more, and were a curious sight to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Letters from Cuba
Author: Ruth BeharPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525516492
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Pura Belpré Award Winner Ruth Behar's inspiring story of a Jewish girl who escapes Poland to make a new life in Cuba, where she works to rescue the rest of her family The situation is getting dire for Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II. Esther's father has fled to Cuba, and she is the first one to join him. It's heartbreaking to be separated from her beloved sister, so Esther promises to write down everything that happens until they're reunited. And she does, recording both the good--the kindness of the Cuban people and her discovery of a valuable hidden talent--and the bad: the fact that Nazism has found a foothold even in Cuba. Esther's evocative letters are full of her appreciation for life and reveal a resourceful, determined girl with a rare ability to bring people together, all the while striving to get the rest of their family out of Poland before it's too late. Based on Ruth Behar's family history, this compelling story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging times.
Dreaming in Cuban
Author: Cristina GarcíaPublisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307798003
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
“Impressive . . . [Cristina García’s] story is about three generations of Cuban women and their separate responses to the revolution. Her special feat is to tell it in a style as warm and gentle as the ‘sustaining aromas of vanilla and almond,’ as rhythmic as the music of Beny Moré.”—Time Cristina García’s acclaimed book is the haunting, bittersweet story of a family experiencing a country’s revolution and the revelations that follow. The lives of Celia del Pino and her husband, daughters, and grandchildren mirror the magical realism of Cuba itself, a landscape of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption. Dreaming in Cuban is “a work that possesses both the intimacy of a Chekov story and the hallucinatory magic of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez” (The New York Times). In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the novel’s original publication, this edition features a new introduction by the author. Praise for Dreaming in Cuban “Remarkable . . . an intricate weaving of dramatic events with the supernatural and the cosmic . . . evocative and lush.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Captures the pain, the distance, the frustrations and the dreams of these family dramas with a vivid, poetic prose.”—The Washington Post “Brilliant . . . With tremendous skill, passion and humor, García just may have written the definitive story of Cuban exiles and some of those they left behind.”—The Denver Post
