Description

Novela histórica sobre la vida de César Gómez Hernández, quien durante la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista en Cuba, tuvo que exiliarse en México por hacer parte de la oposición. En 1956 regresó a la isla a bordo del Granma, junto con Fidel y Raúl Castro, el Che Guevara y otros setenta y ocho expedicionarios que buscaban liberar el país de la intervención estadounidense y acabar con los horrores del gobierno de Batista.
 
Cuando se acabó la dictadura, la Revolución cubana tomó un rumbo inesperado: la isla se transformó en una república marxista, lo que iba en contra de los ideales de muchos de los expedicionarios del Granma. Es por esto que Gómez tuvo que volver a exiliarse, esta vez para siempre, pues para sus excompañeros se convirtió en un traidor.
 
En esta conmovedora y apasionante novela, de la mano de su protagonista, Oscar Vela narra la historia detrás de la Revolución cubana, del gobierno de Fidel Castro y lo que este significó para los revolucionarios que lo acompañaron en el derrocamiento de Batista.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A historical novel about the life of César Gómez Hernández, one of the masterminds of the Granma expedition. During the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship, Fidel Castro came into Cuba with his revolution, and once Castro took power, César Gómez Hernández had to leave and exile in Mexico for being part of Castro’s opposition.

In 1956 César Gómez Hernández was aboard the famous Granma along with Fidel and Raul Castro, Che Guevara, and seventy-eight other revolutionaries seeking to free the country from US intervention and to end the horrors of the Batista government.

In this moving and intense novel, Oscar Vela as a protagonist narrates the story behind the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro’s regime, and what Castro meant for the revolutionaries who joined him in the overthrow of Batista.
