Book Description
A native of Miami, Kenneth Treister had not been in Cuba since 1957 when he thought it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In January 1997, traveling with journalist Ben Leuchter, he revisited Havana. At first his interest was only architectural. But as he discovered that the mansions burgeoned with life- 15 to 30 families in space built for one, impoverished people sheltering meager possessions in the decay of grandeur- his focus shifted to the people of Havana...a people trying to retain their dignity. |
