Historia de Cuba En Cien Barcos (Spanish Edition)
Description:
Description in Spanish: CIEN BARCOS EN LA HISTORIA DE CUBA. Los principales hitos de nuestra Historia han sido marcados por barcos. En épocas remotas Cuba era territorio desierto... y en barcos llegaron nuestros primeros habitantes. Llegamos a ser una isla poblada de aborígenes caribeños, pero con las tres carabelas nos hicieron colonia española. Y eso fuimos hasta que explotó el Maine en La Habana, convirtiéndonos, simultáneamente, en un país independiente y muy dependiente de los Estados Unidos. Y entonces llegó el Granma, que enrumbó la Isla hacia el Este y a un buen número de cubanos hacia el Norte. Las embarcaciones de Bahía de Cochinos intentaron, sin éxito, abrir un nuevo capítulo. Los barcos nos hicieron españoles, ingleses y americanos. Pero, por encima de todo, nos hicieron cubanos: Con lo que trajeron (Cachita, el escudo, la bandera, los Versos Sencillos, el beisbol, la mariposa, flor nacional) y llevaron (emigrados, azúcar, la habanera) hicimos nuestra Cuba y nos convertimos en el pueblo que somos. El lector de este libro acepta viajar, no en uno, sino en cien barcos y descubrir una historia muchas veces inédita, pero siempre enriquecedora. Description in English:CIEN BARCOS EN LA HISTORIA DE CUBA (ONE HUNDRED BOATS IN THE HISTORY OF CUBA). The main events of our History have been marked by boats. In remote times, Cuba was a barren territory ... and our first inhabitants arrived on ships. We became an island populated by Caribbean aborigines, but with Christopher Columbus' three caravels we became s a Spanish colony. And that we were until the Maine exploded in Havana, making us an independent country but very dependent on the United States. And then the Granma arrived, which routed the Island to the East and a good number of Cubans to the North. The boats of the Bay of Pigs tried, without success, to open a new chapter. All these boats made us Spanish, English and American. But, above all, they made us Cubans: With what they brought (Cachita, the shield, the flag, the Marti's Simple Verses, baseball, the butterfly, the national flower) and what they took (emigration, sugar, the habanera) we made our Cuba and we became the people that we are today.
