When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper-class woman, Cecilia vows revenge." "For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's translation of Cecilia Valdes opens a new window on the experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba and the intricate problems of race relations in the Caribbean. There are the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, the elite European and New World whites, and the slaves, some born in Africa, some born in the New World - all of them represented in this unflinching portrait of the sexual, social, and racial oppression in a slaveholding colonial society."--Jacket.

Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.

«Cecilia Valdés» es la obra más célebre del escritor cubano Cirilo Villaverde. Esta novela romántica y costumbrista narra la historia de Cecilia, una hermosa mulata criolla que ignora que es la hija ilegítima del rico español Cándido Gamboa, y la historia de Leonardo, hijo de Cándido, que desconoce su parentesco con Cecilia y se enamora de ella. Más allá del enredo amoroso, la novela denuncia el sistema esclavista y las convenciones sociales que aprisionan a todos los personajes. Cirilo Villaverde de la Paz (1812-1894) fue un escritor cubano. Incorporó a su ideario la crítica hacia el esclavismo debido a que pasó su niñez en una hacienda esclavista. Fue un destacado patriota cubano y se le conoce por conspirar contra España para la independencia de Cuba. Fue condenado a muerte, pero escapó a Estados Unidos. Se le considera un autor romántico y su obra más representativa es «Cecilia Valdés».
