Del escritor español Mario Escobar llega la emocionante novela
sobre la vida y los amores de Camilo Cienfuegos, el revolucionario
cubano que luchó al lado de Fidel Castro y murió en
circunstancias sospechosas. El comandante del pueblo es la
historia, basada en hechos reales, de Camilo Cienfuegos, un
revolucionario que se hizo amigo de Fidel Castro cuando empezaron
las protestas para derrocar la dictadura de Batista. Después de
participar en una manifestación en 1948 contra el incremento de
los precios del transporte en la Habana, el padre de Camilo obtuvo
una visa para irse con él y unos amigos a los Estados Unidos,
donde hicieron de todo para sobrevivir. Su aventura los lleva de
Nueva York a Chicago y San Francisco hasta que son deportados a
Cuba. A su regreso en la isla, Camilo se reencuentra con Paquita,
su amor de juventud, con quien decide casarse. Pero el curso de su
vida cambiará. Después de unirse al movimiento estudiantil contra
el régimen de Batista, la policía lo persigue y se ve obligado a
refugiarse en Miami y luego en México, donde decide unirse al
ejército organizado por Fidel Castro y el Che Guevara. En 1956
emprenden el viaje en barco de regreso a Cuba, con 86 hombres a
bordo, para iniciar la Revolución. Tras ganar varias batallas, la
rivalidad entre Camilo y Fidel se acentúa y sus ideales se
separan. Las ideas pacifistas de Camilo se ganan el afecto de la
gente, pero la ambición de Castro por el poder absoluto borrará a
Camilo de la historia. Camilo desaparece en un viaje de Camagüey a
la Habana. Al parecer, el avión en el que viajaba fue derribado, y
los posibles testigos del accidente también desaparecieron.
Paquita no volvió a saber de él. From Spanish bestselling author
Mario Escobar comes an exciting, thrilling novel about the life and
loves of Camilo Cienfuegos, the Cuban revolutionary that worked
side by side with Fidel Castro and died under the most suspicious
circumstances. THE VILLAGE COMMANDER/El comandante del pueblo is
the story, based on true events, of Camilo Cienfuegos, a
revolutionary who became friends with Fidel Castro when the
protests began to overthrow the Batista dictatorship. After
participating in a demonstration in 1948 for the increase in
transportation prices in Havana, Camilo's father obtains a visa to
go with him and some friends to the United States, where they do
everything to survive. Their journey takes them from New York to
Chicago and San Francisco until they are deported to Cuba. Upon his
return to the Island, Camilo meets again with Paquita, his youthful
love, with whom he has decided to marry. But soon his life will
change course. After joining the student movement against the
Batista regime, he is chased by the police and is forced to flee to
Miami and then to Mexico, where he decides to join the army
organized by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. In 1956 they set sail
for Cuba, with 86 men on board, to start the Revolution. After
several battles won, the rivalry between Camilo and Fidel is
accentuated, while their ideals separate. Camilo's pacifist ideas
endear him to the people, but Castro's ambition for absolute power
will erase Camilo from history. Camilo disappears on a trip from
Camagüey to Havana. Apparently, the plane he was traveling in was
shot down, but possible witnesses to the accident also disappeared.
Paquita never heard from him again.
