An Englishman in Cuba

An Englishman in Cuba Synopsis

Alec Forshaw has been a frequent visitor to Cuba for over twenty years. This book provides a beguiling and broad-ranging picture of this fascinating country. Covering diverse subjects from farming to pharmaceuticals, health provision to hurricanes, baseball to beekeeping, ballet to bicycles, salsa to cigars, indigenous heritage to industrial development, rum to revolution, architecture to anthropology, and wildlife to women's rights, this book provides a stimulating and informative alternative to standard travel guides, political polemics or academic studies. It will encourage those who already know Cuba to explore it further and persuade those who have never visited to see this amazing place for themselves.
