Overview
En esta espectacular novela gráfica, Daniel Miyares cuenta la historia de su propio padre, Carlos. Una historia de emigración y nuevos arraigos, de esas que no podrás olvidar.
Carlos tiene doce años y vive en Matanzas, Cuba. Le gusta jugar a la pelota e ir a la playa con su abuelo. Con el triunfo de la Revolución, en 1959, todo cambia. El país se sumerge en el caos político.
En medio de toda esta agitación, el padre de Carlos desaparece. Su madre le dice que Papi ha escapado a Estados Unidos y que pronto se unirán a él. Pero ¿cómo puede Carlos dejar Cuba y despedirse de todo lo que conoce y quiere? ¿Y cómo podrán escapar si los soldados de Castro lo vigilan todo?
Esta es la historia de todas las familias que alguna vez han tenido que huir de su país buscando libertad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Here is the dramatic coming-of-age memoir -- told in the form of a graphic novel -- of 12-year-old Carlos (who would grow up to become the author’s father), his life during the Cuban Revolution, and his family’s harrowing escape to America.
The year is 1957. Carlos lives with his family in Ceiba Mocha, a small town in the Cuban countryside. He loves to play baseball with his best friend, Alvaro, and to shoot home-made slingshots with his abuelo.
One day, a miracle happens: Carlos' father, his papi, wins the lottery! He uses the money to launch his growing furniture business and to move the family to a big house in the city. Carlos hates having to move -- hates leaving Abuelo and Alvaro behind -- and hates being called country kid at his new school.
But the pains of moving and middle school turn out to be the least of his problems.
When rebel leader Fidel Castro overthrows the existing Cuban president, the entire country is thrust into revolution. Then, suddenly, Papi disappears. Carlos' mother tells him that Papi has gone to America, and that their whole family will soon join him. But Carlos really doesn't want to leave Cuba, the only home he's ever known. Besides, how will they get to America when Castro's soldiers are policing their every move? Will Carlos ever see his father again?
This powerful book about a boy coming of age amid massive political upheaval tells a timeless story of one family's quest for freedom and for a new place to call home.
