Description: De dnde son los gusanos: Crnica de un regreso a Cuba despus de 37 aos de exilio / Where Traitors Come from by Néstor Díaz de Villegas Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Un viaje al corazón de la Cuba contemporánea que convoca a los fantasmas del oscuro pasado revolucionario de la isla. Por escribir un poema a los dieciocho años en Cuba, Néstor Díaz de Villegas fue acusado por la Seguridad del Estado de ser un "diversionista ideológico" y condenado a seis años en un campo de trabajos forzados, de donde saldrá en 1979 rumbo a Miami. Treinta y siete años después, el autor regresa a la isla con la perspicacia de un periodista experimentado. Tras la reanudación de las relaciones diplomáticas entre los Estados Unidos y Cuba, Néstor y su esposa se aventuran en la reconstrucción de una antigua casa familiar en La Habana, una tarea que se convierte en metáfora de la restauración de una nación en quiebra. Con su infancia cubana como fantasmal telón de fondo, Díaz de Villegas teje un tapiz de disidentes y buscavidas, parientes perdidos y amigos nuevos, viviendas en ruinas y sórdidos palacios. Meditación sobre la vida y la muerte, extravagante cuaderno de viaje, tratado político y narración histórica, De donde son los gusanos es también la crónica del lento florecer de un nuevo espíritu emprendedor en Cuba, así como de la colaboración entre expatriados y residentes de la isla en la causa comÚn de redimir al país de los estragos del totalitarismo.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA journey to the heart of contemporary Cuba which summons the ghosts of the islands dark revolutionary past. Just for writing a poem at age eighteen in Cuba, Néstor Díaz de Villegas was accused by State Security of being an "ideological divergent" and sentenced to six years in a forced labor camp, where he would leave in 1979 heading for Miami. Thirty-seven years later, the author returns to the island but this time with the insight of an experienced journalist. After the renewal of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, Néstor and his wife venture into the reconstruction of an old family home in Havana, a task that becomes a metaphor for the restoration of a bankrupt nation. Díaz de Villegas weaves a tapestry of dissidents and hustlers, long lost relatives and new friends, dilapidated homes and wretched palaces. Along with meditation about life and death, an extravagant travel journal, political treaty and historical narrative, Where Traitors Come from is also the chronicle of the slow blossoming of a new entrepreneurial spirit in Cuba, as well as a partnership and collaboration between expatriates and the islands residents.
