Ernest Hemingway lived in Cuba for more than two decades, longer than anywhere else. He bought a home—naming it the Finca Vigia—with his third wife, Martha Gellhorn and wrote his masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea there. In Cuba, Papa Hemingway found a sense of serenity and enrichment that he couldn’t find anywhere else. Now, through more than a hundred color photographs and accompanying text, Robert Wheeler takes us through the streets and near the water’s edge of Havana, and closer to the relationship Hemingway shared with the Cuban people, their landscape, their politics, and their culture. Wheeler has followed Hemingway’s path across continents—from La Closerie des Lilas Café in Paris to Sloppy Joe’s Bar in Key West to El Floridita in Havana—seeking to capture through photography and the written word the essence of one of the greatest writers in the English language. In Hemingway’s Havana, he reveals the beauty and the allure of Cuba, an island nation whose deep connection with the sea came to fascinate and inspire the writer. The book includes a foreword by América Fuentes who is the granddaughter of the late Gregorio Fuentes, the captain of Hemingway’s boat Pilar and his loyal and close friend.

"Sobrevivir: Tales from the Edge of Havana" is a fascinating and very moving work that gives a penetrating look at the brutal realities of modern Cuba. Anyone with even a passing fascination with Cuba should read this book. It tells the tale of those on the fringes of Cuban society, a place where ethics are hazy and corruption runs rampant in the government. The story follows a group of young people who are stuck between a dismal present and the ghost of a future that was never realized. In a powerful way, this highlights the weighty consequences of living under the present regime in Cuba. The story follows Luis, a man who makes his way through life in the less savory neighborhoods of Havana. The protagonist's journey mirrors the uphill struggle that ordinary Cubans confront as they become entangled in the monotony of daily existence. The author deftly weaves Luis's personal struggle with the larger societal challenges that are ailing Cuba to create a fascinating narrative of the tenacity of the human spirit. Because of the inherent instability of life in Cuba, the novel's core aphorism that "there is nothing to do but survive" becomes an all-too-real topic for the people. Nonetheless, the resolute character of the Cuban people continues to shine through despite the dire conditions. Their resilience shines a hopeful and compassionate light in contrast to the bleak environment in which they find themselves, illuminating the dark corners of their shared experience. The author of "Sobrevivir" successfully weaves a gripping story out of the bleak reality of life in a nation ruled by its own slave masters. It achieves this through an open examination of moral ambiguity and the unspoken norm of corruption, which raises serious issues for both societal and personal morality. The novel brilliantly portrays the broad disillusionment of a generation betrayed by its leaders, as well as the terrible choices that each person must make in order to survive. It's proof of how tough the Cuban people are and how determined they are to keep going even when things get tough. The book "Sobrevivir: Tales from the Edge of Havana" captures the spirit of survival well and serves as a sobering reminder of the human capacity to persevere and flourish under the most trying of circumstances.

This gripping Cold War history chronicles the events that brough the world to the edge of nuclear war—and the political drama that averted disaster. The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the closest the world has yet come to nuclear war, a time when the hands of the Doomsday Clock really did inch towards the witching hour of midnight. By placing nuclear missiles on the Caribbean island of Cuba where, potentially, they were able to threaten the eastern seaboard of the USA, Nikita Khrushchev and the Soviet Union escalated the Cold War to a level that everyone feared but had never previously thought possible. In a desperate and dangerous game of brinkmanship, for thirteen nerve-wracking days Premier Khrushchev and President Kennedy held the fate of the world in their hands. Kennedy, in particular, wrestled with a range of options – allow the missiles to stay, launch an air strike on the sites, or invade Cuba. In the end, he did none of these. But the solution to one of the deadliest dilemmas of the twentieth century proved to be a brave and dramatic moment in human history.
