A Cuban exile searches for his long-lost mother, as well as his cultural heritage, in this drama. Roberto Delgado (Jorge Perugorria) is a college professor living in Miami who was born in Cuba; Roberto and his father fled Cuba shortly before the final stages of the revolution, and he grew up believing that his mother Carmen abandoned the family rather than join them in the United States. After 32 years in America, Roberto has developed a gnawing curiosity about Carmen, the mother he hasn't seen in over three decades, and decides to take a vacation in Cuba in hopes of finding her. In Havana, Roberto tracks down his cousin, Pilar (Isabel Santos), who informs him that his father actually kidnapped him, taking him to the United States against his mother's wishes, and that Carmen was so distraught by the loss of her child that she ended up in a mental institution. With Pilar's help, Roberto sets out to find his mother, with taxi driver Antonio (Mario Limonta) as their guide and driver, though it sometimes seems as if the harder they look for Carmen, the father away she seems to get. Honey for Oshun was the first Cuban production shot on digital video equipment; it received its North American premier at the 2001 Montreal Film Festival, and was later shown in competition at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the age when the world was being measured by the length of a sail and the courage of those who dared to follow it, Portugal stood at the edge of history and looked outward. Its ships cut paths into seas no European fleet had mastered before. Its kings dreamed of spices, gold, souls, and glory. Its sailors carried iron and faith into waters where neither had yet ruled. This is often told as a story of empire. It is also a story of hunger.The Age of Discoveries did not begin on the deck of a caravel, nor in the halls of kings, but in fields where grain failed, in villages where children starved while storehouses remained full, in places where power was exercised without mercy long before it was projected overseas. The same hands that hoisted sails had once held ploughs. The same men who fired cannon had once knelt in dust. This book begins there. This is not the story of a king, an admiral, or a conqueror. It is the story of a boy who was denied bread and decided, without knowing how, that no one under his power would ever be denied it again.Tiago Correia is a fictional man placed carefully inside real history. Every voyage he sails, every battle he survives, every ruler he serves or defies existed. Vasco da Gama, Pedro Alvares Cabral, Francisco de Almeida, Afonso de Albuquerque, these men shaped the Portuguese empire, and Tiago moves among them not as a replacement for history, but as a witness to its cost. He begins life with nothing but memory. At sixteen, Tiago kneels in a manor house in Alentejo and begs for food for his family and the children of the estate. He is answered with a whip. He watches his parents, his brother, and his sister die of starvation in a land that had grain locked behind stone walls. That moment does not make him heroic. It makes him unfinished. Tiago is enslaved in North Africa. He is hunted in jungles. He survives storms that erase ships, and men, without discrimination. He participates in the violent birth of a global empire and learns, painfully, that victory and virtue are not the same thing. He grows rich. He becomes feared. He becomes respected. And at every stage, the boy kneeling on stone remains inside him, asking what all of this is for.This novel does not deny the achievements of Portugal's maritime age. It does not soften its brutality either. The spice trade is shown as it was, transformative, ruthless, lucrative, and soaked in blood. Cities are taken. Ships are burned. Alliances are forged and betrayed. The Indian Ocean becomes a battlefield where commerce and cannon are inseparable. But alongside that history runs another question: What kind of man survives empire without becoming part of it? Tiago's answer is not rebellion, nor sainthood. It is responsibility. He helps where he can. He intervenes where others look away. He accepts wealth, but spends it helping the poor. He accepts power, but limits it. When he finally returns home after thirty years, he does not seek vengeance on those who destroyed his family. He dismantles the system that allowed them to do so. In Ethiopia, an ancient Christian kingdom untouched by European domination, Tiago encounters a civilization older than Rome. There, he marries Princess Seble, not as a trophy or alliance, but as an equal. Their union becomes the moral hinge of his life, a reminder that power can exist without hunger for domination. By the time Tiago is fifty, he is an advisor to kings, a Count, one of the richest men in Portugal, and beloved by the poor who line up daily at his warehouses for bread. Yet his greatest achievement is quieter, he ends hunger on the land where his family died, and he ensures that no child there will ever kneel for bread again. This is not a book about how empires are built. It is a book about how they should be survived. About how memory can be sharpened into justice rath Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
