Paperback. This literary piece covers three periods: slavery until 1868, the War of Independence (1868-1898), and changes (1898- ). The major part of the events takes place in the eastern regions of Cuba. It tells true stories of members of the same family, portrayed succinctly yet illustratively, with the protagonists' time periods and attitudes taking centre stage.The whole story is told by one member of the third generation. Each generation of protagonists put into practice what they learnt from the previous one, showing a common pattern - the highest moral standard in the time in which they lived.They are, then, three generations of the same family who neither lacked resources nor humility, and the poverty in which they lived could not drag them down to the lowest point. Instead, they rose to the top and faced the most serious challenges to maintain their morale at the highest level - something more worthy of admiration and respect than praise, considering we are talking about a society where being poor and Black, and naturally, dispossessed, makes you an easy target to become an outcast. This literary piece covers three periods: slavery until 1868, the War of Independence (1868-1898), and changes (1898- ). This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
