THE CUBANS - ANTHONY DEPALMA KARTONIERT (TB)

'Moving and rich...overflowing with warmth and humanity' The Times In this pioneering work of
life-writing and reportage  Anthony DePalma reconstructs the interwoven stories of five
ordinary citizens and their families to bring the true story of the Cuban people to the world.
From Castro's heyday  through the devastation of post-Soviet collapse  to the false dawn of
recent years  we witness the hardships of life across six decades of socialist state control -
where even today the government decides what work you can do and where you live  where food is
rationed  and basic medicines are unavailable. The Cubans maps a country where the revolution
that once inspired its people has since tested their faith with tragedy and disillusionment 
revealing the daily acts of heroism and the endlessly adaptive resilience that are required of
them to survive. 'Page-turning...revealing and unputdownable' Claire Boobbyer  Cuba travel
expert 'A deeply reported...account of Cuba's bittersweet realities' Financial Times
