Reviews
Winner of Spain's prestigious Azorin prize for best fiction, this novel takes place in present-day Havana. Two friends meet after many years and begin to discuss their problems. Ruben, an art professor expelled from his teaching position, sells leather goods to tourists, while economist Gilberto works as a butcher. Planning to leave Cuba someday, they reminisce about the women they loved but have lost. Claudia had an art degree but was also expelled from her job in a museum after vehemently opposing the sale of art works. La Mora was a single mother who unwillingly resorted to prostitution in order to feed her child. As the story unfolds, the reader discovers that the two women are one and the same. When Ruben was taken to prison, Claudia found herself pregnant and alone. After she had her baby she met Gilberto but never revealed her true identity. This powerful novel is an indictment of the hardships and injustices afflicting Cubans today. The Cuban-born Chaviano now resides in Miami. Recommended for public libraries.?Jorge Gonzalez

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse. Tercera entrega de la tetralogía "La Habana oculta", esta novela de la escritora cubana Daína Chaviano, ganadora del Premio Azorín de Novela en 1998, es la primera obra literaria de alcance universal que retrata el mundo de las «jineteras» (prostitutas) en la isla durante la década de 1980. La trama sigue a varios jóvenes que abandonan sus profesiones universitarias para sobrevivir en una sociedad donde los valores sociales y morales se han invertido debido al desastre económico del gobierno de Fidel Castro. Aunque aborda un trasfondo socio-político, la obra se desarrolla en un ambiente casi gótico, distanciándose del panfletarismo de otras obras sobre el tema. La protagonista, Claudia, una licenciada en Historia del Arte que se ve forzada a la prostitución, tiene visiones de otras épocas y se comunica con tres espíritus que le ofrecen advertencias y pautas sobre su vida. Estas entidades representan el legado de las etnias que conforman la nación cubana, introduciendo una profunda reflexión sobre la psicología social del país y la persistencia de la espiritualidad. Su componente mágico-espiritual, prosa poética, estructura cuidadosa y análisis agudo de la sociedad cubana de los años 1990 la han consagrado como una obra fundamental de la literatura contemporánea, objeto de estudio en universidades de Estados Unidos y Europa.
