The Autobiography of a Slave / Autobiografia de Un Esclavo

Received the item in great condition. The item came quickly and secured. I would reccomend this seller.

Excellent introduction. I also own a book entitled "Our Islands and its People" published by the US Government in the 1890's after the Spanish-American War. I've always considered this large expose' one of my library's most important treasures especially because of its early twentieth century photographs of the island, the folklore, the myths, and the traditions and superstitions of that era. Manzano's book will stand in another prominent spot in my collection of Cuban works. Thank you, Andrew J. Rodriguez Award-winning author: "Adios, Havana," a Memoir

This is an excellent edition of an important work. The english translation is well done and the introduction is wonderful. Schulman provides useful and interesting background information as well as thought-provoking insights.
