Cuba: La Habana y los Cubanos



The discovery of the Americas is considered by most reputable historians, biologists, and anthropologists as a significant event that brought profound ecological, cultural, and economic changes and transformed the modern world. During the Post Columbian period, the encounters between the Old and the New World relied on winds and sea currents that determined the best routes for the ships to sail across the oceans. Cuba, a small Caribbean Island named by its discoverer Isabela as a tribute to Spain's revered queen, was favored by a unique geographical location that brought many of the ships to its beautiful shores. In their wake, the Cubans were influenced by the traditions, myths, customs, and religions of the very diverse, and, at times, colliding cultures of the personages that disembarked on this beautiful Island. This exposure to international visitors and immigrants had a mysterious, elegant, entertaining, sensual, and, at times, scandalous impact, that over the years spawned the surprisingly rich folklore and the unique culture that is elegantly described in rich detail in Julio E. Ulloa's thoughtful, compelling, and entertaining narrative. Ulloa's inquisitiveness is all-inclusive as he covers the impact on the Cubans as they were inspired and influenced by Europeans, Africans, and Asians that came from different regions of those continents as well as by the French colonizers that fled Haiti to escape the brutality of colonial rule and the chaos that followed during the reign of King Henri Christophe. The book, rich in spellbinding details, unashamedly transports the reader to the curious world of a pre-1959 era of the demons, spirits, poets, patriots, musicians, and colorful entrepreneurs, that shaped the character of an amazing people.

Acerca del Libro

Prominentes historiadores, biólogos y antropólogos consideran que el descubrimiento de América fue un evento significativo que trajo consigo profundos cambios ecológicos, culturales y económicos que transformaron el mundo moderno. Durante el periodo post colombino, los encuentros entre el viejo y el nuevo mundo dependían de los vientos y de las corrientes marinas que determinaban las mejores rutas para que los barcos atravesaran los océanos. Cuba, la pequeña isla caribeña que fue bautizada por su descubridor con el nombre de Isabela, en honor a la reverenciada reina de España, estaba favorecida por su ubicación geográfica privilegiada que atrajo a numerosos barcos a sus hermosas costas. Esto dio como resultado que los cubanos se vieran influenciados por las tradiciones, mitos, costumbres y religiones de las muy diversas, y en ocasiones contrapuestas, culturas de los personajes que desembarcaron en esta bella isla. Este encuentro con visitantes internacionales y con inmigrantes tuvo un impacto misterioso, elegante, entretenido, sensual y por momentos escandaloso, que al pasar de los años fructificó en un sorprendentemente rico folclor y la singular cultura que es elegantemente descrita con minucioso detalle en la cautivante y entretenida narrativa de Julio E. Ulloa. El interés de Ulloa examina todos los ángulos al tratar el impacto que tuvo sobre los cubanos la inspiración y la influencia europea, africana y asiática que llegó de las diferentes regiones de esos continentes así como de los colonizadores franceses que huían de Haití escapando de la brutalidad colonial y del caos que siguió al reinado de Henri Christophe. El libro, rico en fascinantes detalles, transporta al lector al curioso mundo anterior a 1959, tiempo de demonios, espíritus, poetas, patriotas, músicos y coloridos emprendedores que dieron forma al carácter de un pueblo asombroso.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.
