Cuba: La Habana y los Cubanos



The discovery of the Americas is considered by most reputable historians, biologists, and anthropologists as a significant event that brought profound ecological, cultural, and economic changes and transformed the modern world. During the Post Columbian period, the encounters between the Old and the New World relied on winds and sea currents that determined the best routes for the ships to sail across the oceans. Cuba, a small Caribbean Island named by its discoverer Isabela as a tribute to Spain's revered queen, was favored by a unique geographical location that brought many of the ships to its beautiful shores. In their wake, the Cubans were influenced by the traditions, myths, customs, and religions of the very diverse, and, at times, colliding cultures of the personages that disembarked on this beautiful Island. This exposure to international visitors and immigrants had a mysterious, elegant, entertaining, sensual, and, at times, scandalous impact, that over the years spawned the surprisingly rich folklore and the unique culture that is elegantly described in rich detail in Julio E. Ulloa's thoughtful, compelling, and entertaining narrative. Ulloa's inquisitiveness is all-inclusive as he covers the impact on the Cubans as they were inspired and influenced by Europeans, Africans, and Asians that came from different regions of those continents as well as by the French colonizers that fled Haiti to escape the brutality of colonial rule and the chaos that followed during the reign of King Henri Christophe. The book, rich in spellbinding details, unashamedly transports the reader to the curious world of a pre-1959 era of the demons, spirits, poets, patriots, musicians, and colorful entrepreneurs, that shaped the character of an amazing people.

Acerca del Libro

Prominentes historiadores, biólogos y antropólogos consideran que el descubrimiento de América fue un evento significativo que trajo consigo profundos cambios ecológicos, culturales y económicos que transformaron el mundo moderno. Durante el periodo post colombino, los encuentros entre el viejo y el nuevo mundo dependían de los vientos y de las corrientes marinas que determinaban las mejores rutas para que los barcos atravesaran los océanos. Cuba, la pequeña isla caribeña que fue bautizada por su descubridor con el nombre de Isabela, en honor a la reverenciada reina de España, estaba favorecida por su ubicación geográfica privilegiada que atrajo a numerosos barcos a sus hermosas costas. Esto dio como resultado que los cubanos se vieran influenciados por las tradiciones, mitos, costumbres y religiones de las muy diversas, y en ocasiones contrapuestas, culturas de los personajes que desembarcaron en esta bella isla. Este encuentro con visitantes internacionales y con inmigrantes tuvo un impacto misterioso, elegante, entretenido, sensual y por momentos escandaloso, que al pasar de los años fructificó en un sorprendentemente rico folclor y la singular cultura que es elegantemente descrita con minucioso detalle en la cautivante y entretenida narrativa de Julio E. Ulloa. El interés de Ulloa examina todos los ángulos al tratar el impacto que tuvo sobre los cubanos la inspiración y la influencia europea, africana y asiática que llegó de las diferentes regiones de esos continentes así como de los colonizadores franceses que huían de Haití escapando de la brutalidad colonial y del caos que siguió al reinado de Henri Christophe. El libro, rico en fascinantes detalles, transporta al lector al curioso mundo anterior a 1959, tiempo de demonios, espíritus, poetas, patriotas, músicos y coloridos emprendedores que dieron forma al carácter de un pueblo asombroso.

Not the least bit durable
Color: Blue
This is not durable! My pup had a hole in it in 5 minutes and a leg torn off in 3 days. He is not an aggressive chewer even....typically we have to replace toys because the squeaker has died, never because he tore it out!

Adorable but not Durable
Color: Blue
While this toy was super adorable and our 1 year old puppy loved it. The colors were bright and vivid, and it made fun wrinkling sounds he absolutely loved. However we were lucky if it lasted 20 minutes. Within minutes the crinkle paper was coming out and it basically fell apart, and he's not a destructive pup.
