More about the book

Set against the backdrop of post-revolutionary France, the narrative explores the vibrant cultural scene of Paris, where literary giants and composers thrived. Amidst this artistic flourishing, Carlos Manuel de Céspedes and his wife María del Carmen host notable Cuban intellectuals, including Domingo del Monte and Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. Their interactions illuminate the exchange of ideas that shaped the last Spanish colony in the Americas, weaving together themes of creativity, identity, and the influence of European culture on the Caribbean.
