Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Una de las novelas mas importantes escritas en espanol en el siglo XX.El libro que consagro a Guillermo Cabrera Infante como uno de los referentes en la literatura contemporanea.Que diria el viejo Bacho si supiera que su musica viaja por el Malecon de La Habana, en el tropico, a sesenta y cinco kilometros por hora?En esta obra magistral, Cabrera Infante narra la vida nocturna de una Habana ya desaparecida, plena de bohemia, de vida marginal, de musica, de cine, de alegria y de libertad. Tres tristes tigres es una autentica fiesta del idioma por la capacidad del autor para reflejar la jerga callejera y mezclarla con un humor singular y unos brillantes juegos de palabras.Protagonizada por la ciudad y los seres que la pueblan, fue publicada originalmente en 1967, tras conseguir en 1964 el Premio Biblioteca Breve. Prohibida en Cuba por el regimen de Castro y retenida en Espana por la censura franquista tras la concesion del premio, logro, no obstante, convertirse en una novela fundamental del siglo XX en espanol y cambiar el rumbo de la literatura latinoamericana.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONCabrera Infante's masterpiece, Three Trapped Tigers is one of the most playful books to reach the U.S. from Cuba. Filled with puns, wordplay, lists upon lists, and Sternean typography--such as the section entitled "Some Revelations," which consists of several blank pages--this novel has been praised as a more modern, sexier, funnier, Cuban Ulysses. Centering on the recollections of a man separated from both his country and his youth, Cabrera Infante creates an enchanting vision of life and the many colorful characters found in steamy Havana's pre-Castro cabaret society. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First Bard Printing, September 1985. Translated by Donald Gardner and Suzanne Jill Levine in collaboration with the author. Bright, clean & tight mass-market paperback, unread, in FINE condition. "Provocative portrait of Havana in the 1950s by one of Latin America's most important writers." [] "'Showtime! Tropicana! The most fabulous nightclub in the world presents its latest show. Curtains up!' So begins a magical, marvelous journey into a Havana on the brink of revolution, a carnival excursion into the nightclubs, the strip joints, barras, and cantinas of an erotic city pulsing with songs and rumbas, sex and revolution, tragedy and bawdy, outrageous comedy. But even more, THREE TRAPPED TIGERS is a daringly innovative work that transforms language into a living, breathing vehicle of remarkable creation." [publisher copy] "A modernist text with all stops pulled, its roots in Sterne, Carroll, Joyce and, most of all, Hollywood. The narrative is like a Marx Brothers comedy."--The Village Voice. "Wonderful exuberance, humor and inventiveness. The nonsense of Lewis Carroll with the bawdiness of Joyce."--Washington Post Book World. "THREE TRAPPED TIGERS can stand on the same shelf with Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and the provocative obscurities of Jorge Luis Borges."--Time. Pristine MM paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Cover illustration features driver in classic convertible looming over Havana movie theater at night. Paper has slight age-toning, not bad for a 38-year-old Avon paperback. Quite presentable.…
