Following his round-the-world Due West, Maturin Ballou turns to Cuba under Spanish rule: the streets, theatres, cafés and promenades of Havana, the sugar plantations and the countryside, and the island’s turbulent history. He writes as an old visitor comparing the present with the extravagant days before hard times set in.
