Starting with Columbus and his lively imagination, Robinson traces Cuba through the Spanish centuries, then turns to the island he knew in the early 1900s: its countryside, the narrow streets of old Havana, the new city growing beside them, a journey around the island, and a closing look at the uneasy relationship between Cuba and the United States.
A readable portrait of Cuba in the first years of independence, useful to travellers and historians alike. Download the free EPUB.
