Descripción: Cuba has drawn and intrigued travelers ever since it was "discovered" by Columbus in 1492. Magnificently evoking the country's romance and drama as well as its darker episodes of slavery and tyranny, this selection of journal entries, essays, and guidebook commentaries transports the reader to the days when Havana sheltered Caribbean pirate treasure ships and was the gateway to the Spanish empire in the New World. Later chapters reflect the "American era" when Cuba was transformed into a glittering tourist and gambler's paradise operated by the Mafia. As with all good travelers' stories, this selection not only informs the reader but also fires the imagination. These tales of pre-revolutionary Cuba are filled with the flavor and manners of a bygone era, reflecting the various impressions of visitors to one of the most alluring islands on earth.
