Cuba: The Elusive Island, LA Isla Ilusiva

By Marilu Menendez and Tria Giovan

Book Overview

The photographer Tria Giovan's Cuban landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and interiors seek to extend beyond the political to portray the spirit of the Cuban people, the former grandeur and lingering beauty of the land, and the integrity of the culture amid a climate of uncertainty. The photographs in this book are complemented by a wide variety of excerpts, all in English and some also in the original Spanish. They include passages and poems from Cuban writers such as Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Alejo Carpentier and Heberto Padilla, as well as songs, historical accounts and personal memoirs.
