Wings of the Morning
Author: Orestes Lorenzo
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250109000
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
"A moving testament, his narrative provides an insider's look at the Castro regime's personality cult, its indoctrination of children and surveillance of ordinary Cubans. " - Publishers Weekly In December 1992 Orestes Lorenzo undertook the most daring journey of his life. More than a year earlier, while a major in the Cuban Air Force, he had escaped from Cuba by flying a MiG to the United States, and for twenty-one frantic months had been trying to get permission for his wife, Vicky, and their two sons to join him. When all his attempts to gain their freedom failed, Orestes decided to go back and rescue his family himself. Meanwhile, Vicky had been undergoing a terrifying ordeal back in Cuba, where the authorities were pressuring her to denounce her husband as a traitor. They informed her that she would never be allowed to leave, and that Raul Castro himself had declared: "If Lorenzo had the guts to leave with one of my MiGs, maybe he has the guts to come back and get his family." Desperate, Orestes Lorenzo did just that, flying an old twin-engine Cessna across the straits of Florida, avoiding Cuban radar, and landing on a busy highway in a breathtaking rescue. Wings of Morning is Lorenzo's account of this astonishing feat, but it is also the unforgettable odyssey of a young man growing up during the euphoria of the Cuban Revolution, marrying his sweetheart, and going off to train as a fighter pilot in the Soviet Union. Lorenzo movingly describes his growing disillusionment with communism, his religious awakening amidst the revelations of Perestroika, and the near-death of his beloved Vicky, as well as his increasing conviction that he must not let his children grow up in a country that denies any dignity or spiritual values in the individual, in the family, and to society.

Vuelo hacia el amanecer
Author: Orestes Lorenzo
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250109035
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
En 1991, Orestes Lorenzo, un mayor en la Fuerza Aérea Cubana, desertó su país de origine en un avión MiG y arriesgó todo lo que tenia para realizar un peligroso vuelo a los Estados Unidos buscando la libertad ideológica que ya no existía en Cuba. Pero fue en 1992, un año más tarde cuando Orestes realizó un viaje aun más peligroso. Después de 21 meses frustrantes, haciendo peticiones a las autoridades cubanas, pidiendo la libertad de su familia, Orestes se dio cuenta de una cosa: la única solución tendría que ser algo sumamente arriesgado y difícil. Habría que volver a Cuba a buscarlos él mismo. Durante todo este tiempo, su esposa Vicky sufrió el constante asedio de las autoridades cubanas, que insistieron que denunciara a su esposo como un cobarde traidor que abandonó a su familia. De lo contrario, jamás tendría permiso para salir de su país. Hasta Raúl Castro, hermano del dictador, tenía algo que decir sobre el asunto: -Si Lorenzo tuvo pantalones para irse con uno de nuestros MiGs, tal vez los tenga para venir a buscar a su familia.- Y eso fue lo que Orestes Lorenzo hizo. Volando un viejo Cessna de dos motores, cruzó las aguas del estrecho de la Florida, evitando el radar cubano. Aterrizó en una carretera bien transitada donde su esposa y sus hijos le esperaban, y les rescató. Vuelo hacia el amanecer es la historia de esta hazaña asombrosa, narrada por el mismo protagonista, Orestes Lorenzo. Es también la odisea individual de un joven que creció durante la euforia de la revolución cubana. Después de casarse y entra en un entrenamiento para pilotos en la unión soviética, Orestes nos muestra su creciente desilusionamiento con el comunismo, apoyado por su despertar a la religión gracias a las revelaciones de la Perestroika y la enfermedad grave de su esposa. Sobre todo, sus motivos tienen sus raíces en la convicción de criar a sus hijos en un país que respeta la dignidad del espíritu individual. Vuelo hacia el amanecer es una historia de heroísmo, el heroísmo de un hombre que haría lo imposible y arriesgaría su vida para obtener la libertad de su familia. Es un testamento al poder y fuerza del amor.

Queer Issues in Contemporary Latin American Cinema
Author: David William Foster
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 029278192X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Viewing contemporary Latin American films through the lens of queer studies reveals that many filmmakers are exploring issues of gender identity and sexual difference, as well as the homophobia that attempts to defeat any challenge to the heterosexual norms of patriarchal culture. In this study of queer issues in Latin American cinema, David William Foster offers highly perceptive queer readings of fourteen key films to demonstrate how these cultural products promote the principles of an antiheterosexist stance while they simultaneously disclose how homophobia enforces the norms of heterosexuality. Foster examines each film in terms of the ideology of its narrative discourse, whether homoerotic desire or a critique of patriarchal heterosexism and its implications for Latin American social life and human rights. His analyses underscore the difficulties involved in constructing a coherent and convincing treatment of the complex issues involved in critiquing the patriarchy from perspectives associated with queer studies. The book will be essential reading for everyone working in queer studies and film studies. The films discussed in this book are: De eso no se habla (I Don't Want to Talk about It) El lugar sin límites (The Place without Limits) Aqueles dois (Those Two) Convivencia (Living Together) Conducta impropia (Improper Conduct) The Disappearance of García Lorca La Virgen de los Sicarios (Our Lady of the Assassins) Doña Herlinda y su hijo (Doña Herlinda and Her Son) No se lo digas a nadie (Don't Tell Anyone) En el paraíso no existe el dolor (There Is No Suffering in Paradise) A intrusa (The Interloper) Plata quemada (Burnt Money) Afrodita (Aphrodite) Fresa y chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate)
