Produktbeschreibung
Cuba Old and New is a comprehensive book written by Albert Gardner Robinson that delves into the history, culture, and contemporary society of Cuba. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing an overview of the island's history, including the pre-Columbian period, the Spanish colonial era, and the struggle for independence. The second part of the book covers the cultural aspects of Cuba, including its music, dance, art, and literature. Finally, the third part of the book explores the contemporary society of Cuba, including its political system, economy, and social issues.Robinson's writing is engaging and informative, providing readers with a deep understanding of Cuba's complex history and culture. He draws on a wide range of sources, including interviews with Cubans, historical documents, and his own personal experiences. The book is also richly illustrated with photographs and maps, adding to the reader's understanding of the island.Overall, Cuba Old and New is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about Cuba. It provides a thorough and nuanced exploration of the island's history, culture, and contemporary society, making it a must-read for anyone interested in this fascinating country.The next city, eastward, is Camaguey, in many ways doubtless the best worth a visit, next to Havana, of any city on the island. It is a place of interesting history and, for me personally, a place of somewhat mixed recollections. The history may wait until I have told my story. I think it must have been on my third visit to the island, early in 1902. On my arrival in Havana, I met my friend Charles M. Pepper, a fellow laborer in the newspaper field. He at once informed me that he and I were to start the next morning for a three or four weeks' journey around the island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
