By: Alejo Carpentier“If Carpentier is ever to get a new reading in English, it should be now. . . . West’s translations . . . reintroduce English-language readers to this giant of Latin American fiction.” —Natasha Wimmer, The New York Review of Books
One of Cuba’s—and Latin America’s—greatest historical novels, about imperial conquest carried out under the guise of liberation, in its first new English translation in sixty years and featuring a new foreword by Alejandro Zambra
A Penguin Classic
When he arrives in Cuba at the close of the eighteenth century, Victor Hugues, a merchant sailor from Marseille, brings with him not only the idealism of the French Revolution but also its ambition and bloodlust. Landing at the Havana doorstep of a trio of wealthy, eccentric Creole orphans, he sweeps them across the Caribbean Sea to Guadeloupe, whose enslaved Africans he frees only then to exploit them in his fight against the British for colonial sovereignty. What ensues in Alejo Carpentier’s swashbuckling, magical realist masterpiece is an explosive clash between the New World and the Old World, and between revolutionary ideals and the corrupting allure of power.

The oil seems great but the stopper leaves a little to be desired.

A Smooth Move for Your Beard Game
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This beard oil is a solid little bottle of magic for anyone looking to keep their beard soft and manageable. The blend of argan oil and lavender smells great without being overpowering and really helps hydrate without feeling greasy. I’ve noticed my facial hair feels less scratchy and looks healthier after using it a few times. It’s easy to apply, and a little goes a long way, so this one definitely earns its spot in the daily routine. If you want your beard to feel smooth and look sharp, this oil is an easy no-fuss option.

Scent
Size: 0.34 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Only had this a week so review based solely on scent. Like old school medicinal or V05 or something. I don’t love it.

Is it Worth it?
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Is it worth it? That is the question you will have to answer given the price and alternatives for this product. My bottle came with a bit of “oil on the outside” so not sure if there was a leak or bad seal. I think the product will add some control and beard management along with a formula that helps the skin. However, I’m not sure that it is worth it compared to alternatives at better price points with similar benefits. You will have to be the ultimate judge on this.
