| Brief Description: | José Martí (1853-95) was not only the leader of the Cuban revolution; he was also the spiritual pillar of the Cuban people. This collection of dialogue paints a picture of this man who searched for the way to make the 20th century the "century of the people."
José Martí threw himself into the revolutionary movement during his teens, was jailed and exiled, yet he continued his fight from Cuba, Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, France, Venezuela, and the U.S. In the midst of the fight for independence, his life was cut short at the age of 42. "I want to die giving off light!" - his passionate life and spirit still shines brightly in the hearts of the Cuban people.
This volume is the result of a dialogue with Dr. Vitier, leading expert on José Martí, and portrays Martí as "a lion of 'courage' but a lion with a very gentle heart." |
