Telex aus Kuba

This gripping novel about the Cuban Revolution gives voice to everyone: the Castros, Che Guevara, dictator Batista, and US President Eisenhower. But it also features two teenagers who seem destined for each other: she, the daughter of the head of an American nickel mine, and he, the son of a senior executive at the United Fruit Company. A historical epic about a pivotal moment in 20th-century history that breathes the spirit of revolt and exudes the scent of bougainvilleas, while not forgetting the misery and the dead.
