This collection of Cuban legends, compiled by the ronowned essayist
and literary critic Salvador Bueno, brings readers the best of a
time-honored tradition of storytelling in Cuba. These tales, passed
on from generation to generation throughout the island, are here
retold by a diverse group of prominent Cuban literary figures.
Their stories embrace a broad spectrum of Cuban history from the
remote past to the modern era. The book features stories of the
Taino and Siboney, the island's original inhabitants, accompanied
by narratives about Afro-Cuban religious and cultural traditions,
and finally tales that are typically ""Cuban"" because they
illustrate both the cohesion of the various strands - Hispanic,
African, and indigenous - that define Cuban nationality and the
patriotism and love of freedom exemplified in the celebrated
struggles against Spanish colonialism. Cuban Legends brings to life
the stories of unforgettable people and words that have survived
the passage of time. They are both witty and wise, and capture the
essential spirit of Cuban culture.
