Description
A fascinating tour of Havana with a luxury guide, Leonardo Padura himself. Good novelists always include a character that becomes as important as the protagonist: the city where the events take place. That's why there's no better guide to Havana than Leonardo Padura, the author who has captured its essence across different eras in each of his novels. This book offers a tour through the neighborhoods of Havana in the form of an autobiographical story by the novelist himself, ranging from Mantilla to the various neighborhoods of the city. In each of them, his story is complemented by excerpts from the novels where they appear. Additionally, in a second part, several reports on the most surprising and unknown aspects of its history are gathered. It's not hard to see in many of them the seeds of Mario Conde's cases, or the past evoked in so many of Padura's novels, which make us experience the city and travel through time.
