Sobre la belleza y el significado del Malecón se ha escrito mucho, pero sobre la historia de su construcción y las circunstancias que condujeron a su creación tenemos poco conocimiento. Este hecho hace que este libro del historiador de construccionescubanas, Juan F. de las Cuevas Toraya, sea de especial interes por un mayor conocimiento de las importantes obras de la ingenieria de La Habana.En este libro encontramos un conjunto de textos e imagenes que nos narran esta historia que va a durar 58 años y 38 dias, que fue iniciada por los estadounidenses y finalizada por la Revolucion, y que tiene 7,3 km.Sin duda, estamos ante un libro que, de una manera concreta, interesante y amena, nos muestra todos los avatares referentes a la construccion de esta majestuosa obra que es el Malecon, icono que constituye un simbolo de la ciudad de La Habana y quees uno de los mas bellos malecones del mundo.

Poderoso efecto causa este libro: es a la vez una novela innovadora y una narración clásica. Conducida por mano maestra, realiza una intrigante proposición: ¿es su protagonista un ser virtual del futuro o un palido fantasma? Con el recorremos el mundo de la television por dentro. Y los ambitos sociales mas opuestos. Amara, la fascinante actriz de telenovelas y su metamorfosis; Alonso, el arquitecto: ¿criminal o genio?; Rodrigo, con quien el lector goza de chistes antiguos y actuales, se sostienen en una historia fluida y asombrosa que el narrador ha ubicado en un lujoso barco, sobre la medianoche del Orinoco. ¿Novela, teatro a lo Shakespeare, television?

Es diáfana la emoción en sus poemas. Y nítida su voz. El sentimiento del tiempo palpita en cada uno de ellos sin decaer y le infunde pareja intensidad al conjunto

The Christian Science Monitor's #1 Best Book of the YearA witty, informative, and popular travelogue about the Scandinavian countries and how they may not be as happy or as perfect as we assume, The Almost Nearly Perfect People offers up the ideal mixture of intriguing and revealing facts (Laura Miller, Salon).Journalist Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians for more than ten years, and he has grown increasingly frustrated with the rose-tinted view of this part of the world offered up by the Western media. In this timely book he leaves his adopted home of Denmark and embarks on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious tribes are, the secrets of their success, and, most intriguing of all, what they think of one another.Why are the Danes so happy, despite having the highest taxes? Do the Finns really have the best education system? Are the Icelanders as feral as they sometimes appear? How are the Norwegians spending their fantastic oil wealth? And why do all of them hate the Swedes? In The Almost Nearly Perfect People Michael Booth explains who the Scandinavians are, how they differ and why, and what their quirks and foibles are, and he explores why these societies have become so successful and models for the world. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterized by suffocating parochialism, and populated by extremists of various shades. They may very well be almost nearly perfect, but it isnt easy being Scandinavian.
