Astisendo Grupo Editorial Cronicas De La Habana Un Gallego En La Cuba Socialista Comic Multicolor . In 1984, Mauricio Vicent, fed up with Madrid, travels to Havana at the age of twenty and is captivated by the city, deciding to stay.He discovers a Cuba with hardly any tourism, where the spirit of the revolution is palpable and where the American blockade and the country´s own inefficiencies have taken their toll: ration books, parallel stores, currency trafficking, children with Russian names...At that time I was twenty years old and I was quite fed up with life in Spain, says Vicent. The Madrid scene was at its peak, but so much excess was boring... All I knew about Cuba was that some bearded men had made a revolution and the most famous was Fidel Castro.Through the anecdotes in the mordant humor of the newly arrived protagonist, the real pulse of Cuba at that time is revealed, on the eve of the Special Period and the severe economic crisis that would sink the island after the fall of the Soviet Union.Mauricio Vicent ended up being a correspondent in Cuba for the newspaper El País for twenty years, from 1991 to 2011, and his youthful experiences on the island are captured in cartoons by the Cuban cartoonist and filmmaker Juan Padrón, who directed the film Vampires in Havana and whose cartoons have marked generations of Cubans. tradeinn Techinn
