El primer libro que analiza en profundidad el fenómeno de la mafia en Cuba. En Nocturno de La Habana, T.J. English nos ofrece un relato fascinante sobre el crimen organizado, la corrupción política, la bulliciosa vida nocturna, la revolución y el conflicto internacional en que se entretejen las historias de la mafia y la revolución cubana que terminará con ella. En la década de los cincuenta, mientras el pueblo cubano se encuentra sometido a un régimen represivo y violento, los jefes mafiosos Meyer Lansky y Lucky Luciano fijaron sus ojos en Cuba. Para ellos era un sueño dorado, la última esperanza para la mafia tras la bonanza de la Ley Seca. Lansky, el mafioso judío, ganó la partida y se hizo con el control de la isla tras haber cultivado estrechos lazos con el dictador Fulgencio Batista. En poco tiempo y con el corrupto gobierno en el bolsillo, Lansky y sus hombres se hicieron con los mayores hoteles y casinos de la ciudad, convirtiéndola en un centro de turismo sin precedentes: las fiestas más lujosas, los famosos de más relumbrón, las mujeres más hermosas, juegos de azar y apuestas sin límite. Pero no contaban con la llegada de Fidel Castro y Ernesto Guevara, empeñados en derrocar al gobierno corrupto y sus aliados extranjeros en una épica batalla que English capta en toda su belleza, gloria y decadencia. Reseñas: «Por fin, el libro definitivo sobre los años dorados de la Mafia en Cuba.» Sam Giancana «Dedicado a los fans de El Padrino II, pero con giros que ni siquiera ellos pueden prever.» Kirkus Reviews

Lupe Victoria Yoli Raymond, popularmente conocida como La Lupe, o La Yiyiyi, lleno toda una época con su música, una mujer de un extraordinario valor, sin embargo, aun su recuerdo esta cubierto como con un velo, donde lo que nos llegan son historias, que muchas veces rayan en lo inverosímil o meras exageraciones. Pero la vida de Lupe fue así, siempre rodeada de hechos como salidos de la leyenda. Desde las polvorientas calles de San Pedrito, en el Oriente de Cuba, se trillo una carrera como interprete de música popular, hizo temblar la revolución de Fidel Castro, llego a los Estados Unidos, donde se situó en el trono incuestionable de La Reina de la Canción Latina. En esta obra, el autor desvela la vida de la artista como nunca nadie antes lo había hecho, con una narrativa dramática, emotiva, triste y perturbadora, llevando al lector a los mas oscuros rincones de la vida de la diva, así como también a los mas cándidos, leales, humanos y amorosos sentimientos de los que siempre fue dueña La Lupe. La Lupe, una Reina Poseída, revela la verdadera vida de Lupe Victoria Yoli Raymond, sin leyendas, sin tapujos. Conozca sus momentos de triunfos, así como los momentos amargos, de dolor miseria y abandono por los que tuvo que pasar esta extraordinaria mujer. Véalos pasar frente a sus ojos como una película, la cual nadie aun ha sido espectador.

"When the sixteen-year-old Octavio Paz (1914-1998) discovered The Waste Land in Spanish translation, it 'opened the doors of modern poetry'. The influence of T S Eliot would accompany Paz throughout his career, defining many of his key poems and pronouncements. Yet Paz's attitude towards his precursor was ambivalent. Boll's study is the first to trace the history of Paz's engagement with Eliot in Latin American and Spanish periodicals of the 1930s and 40s. It reveals the fault lines that run through the work of the dominant figure in recent Mexican letters. By positioning Eliot in a Latin American context, it also offers new perspectives on one of the capital figures of Anglo-American modernism."

Between 1840 and 1920, Cuba abolished slavery, fought two wars of independence, and was occupied by the United States before finally becoming an independent republic. Tiffany A. Sippial argues that during this tumultuous era, Cuba's struggle to define itself as a modern nation found focus in the social and sexual anxieties surrounding prostitution and its regulation. Sippial shows how prostitution became a prism through which Cuba's hopes and fears were refracted. Widespread debate about prostitution created a forum in which issues of public morality, urbanity, modernity, and national identity were discussed with consequences not only for the capital city of Havana but also for the entire Cuban nation. Republican social reformers ultimately recast Cuban prostitutes--and the island as a whole--as victims of colonial exploitation who could be saved only by a government committed to progressive reforms in line with other modernizing nations of the world. By 1913, Cuba had abolished the official regulation of prostitution, embracing a public health program that targeted the entire population, not just prostitutes. Sippial thus demonstrates the central role the debate about prostitution played in defining republican ideals in independent Cuba.

Central to the repertoire of Western art music since the 1700s, the symphony has come to be regarded as one of the ultimate compositional challenges. In his series The Symphonic Repertoire, the late A. Peter Brown explored the symphony in Europe from its origins into the 20th century. In Volume V, Brown's former students and colleagues continue his vision by turning to the symphony in the Western Hemisphere. It examines the work of numerous symphonists active from the early 1800s to the present day and the unique challenges they faced in contributing to the European symphonic tradition. The research adds to an unmatched compendium of knowledge for the student, teacher, performer, and sophisticated amateur. This much-anticipated fifth volume of The Symphonic Repertoire: The Symphony in the Americas offers a user-friendly, comprehensive history of the symphony genre in the United States and Latin America.

In these five essays the Ecuadorian poet Jorge Carrera Andrade traces the evolution of Spanish-American poetry from the sixteenth century to the present. The author shows how Spanish-American literature grew out of the special conditions produced when the New World environment totally transformed Old World culture and society. Initially, the brilliance of the land and its extraordinary peoples inspired European interest in exotic travel and utopianism; later, Old World literary currents came to have distinctive expression in Spanish-American writing. "Poetry and Society in Spanish-America" follows the historic commitment of the New World poets to social issues, particularly such unique ones as the endeavor to bring the Indians into national life, while "Trends in Spanish-American Poetry" dwells on the more purely aesthetic concerns that have stimulated the poets of the twentieth century. Throughout, Carrera Andrade ties his analysis to specific poems and poets. In the last two essays the author presents a clear perspective of his poetic development from 1930 to 1960. "A Decade of My Poetry" and "Poetry of Reality and Utopia" will especially interest readers of Carrera Andrade's poetry, for not only do they elucidate the personal history and philosophy informing his poems, they also reveal how truly his inspiration springs from that unique Spanish-American world he has so clearly delineated.
