-Titulo Original : Farewell To The Sea A Novel Of Cuba (pentagonia)
-Fabricante :
Penguin Books
-Descripcion Original:
...a passionate indictment of tyranny. -- The New YorkerTwice confiscated by Cuban authorities and rewritten from memory, this is Arenas most celebrated novel In this brilliant, apocalyptic vision of Castros Cuba, we meet a young couple who leave the dreariness of Havana and spend six days at a small seaside retreat, where they hope to recapture the desire and carefree spirit that once united them. In a stunning juxtaposition of narrative voices, the wife recounts the grim reality of her marriage, the demands of motherhood, and her loss of freedom, innocence, and hope; while her husband, a disillusioned poet and disenchanted revolutionary, recalls his political struggles and laments the artistic and homosexual freedom that has been denied him. Rich in hallucination, myth and fantasy, Farewell to the Sea is a fierce and unforgettable work that speaks for the entire human condition. From Publishers Weekly This story of despair in Castros Cuba is told through the voices of Hector, a disenchanted revolutionary and poet, and his nameless wife. PW commented: Nightmarish, at times an impenetrable tangle of myth and dreams, this is a horrifying descripton of life in Cuba today. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review ...a passionate indictment of tyranny. -- The New Yorker ...this is a horrifying description of life in Cuba todayand one of the best descriptions to date of life in a Communist country. - - Publishers Weekly... bears powerful witness to the continuing, adventurous elegance of Cuban writing. -- Kirkus Reviews About the Author Reinaldo Arenas was born in Cuba in 1943. In the 1970s, he was imprisoned multiple times for being gay, which clashed with the beliefs of the Communist regime. Despite the hardships imposed during his imprisonment, Arenas produced a significant body of work, including his Pentagonia, a set of five novels written between the 1960s and 1980s that comprise a secret history of post-revolutionary Cuba: Singing from the Well, Farewell to the Sea, Palace of the White Skunks, Color of Summer, and The Assault. In 1980, he was one of 120,000 Cubans who arrived in the United States on the Mariel boatlift. Arenas, ill with AIDS, committed suicide in 1990 shortly after completing Before Night Falls. Thomas Colchie is an acclaimed translator, editor, and literary agent for international authors. He is the editor of A Hammock Beneath the Mangoes. He has written for the Village Voice and The Washington Post. His translations include Manuel Puigs Kiss of the Spider Woman and (with Elizabeth Bishop, Gregory Rabassa, and Mark Strand) Carlos Drummond de Andrades Travelling in the Family.

INTRODUCTION In May of 1980, the Cuban dissident poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas (1943-1990) arrived in Key West, Florida, after a harrowing five-day sea voyage on a pleasure craft named the San Lazaro. Having thus completed his own Mariel “exodus” that should have taken no more than seven hours, he expected to be welcomed by the American intellectual community that had hailed his works, published abroad while he was still in Cuba. He did not realize how parsimoniously the title of dissident was meted out to foreign authors (who ever heard of a dissident American author?) by the U.S. intellectual community and its publishers. Throughout the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, “dissident” was a term customarily restricted to certain, and only certain, Soviet and Eastern European authors, the qualifications for which have never been revealed by Washington insiders or the then budding media conglomerates. Latin American authors were not dissidents but “exiles.” Cuban exiles, Haitian exiles, Dominican exiles, Chilean exiles, Argentine exiles. Manuel Puig (Argentina) was not a dissident writer; Milan Kundera (Czechoslovakia) was. Likewise, Solzhenitsyn (USSR); but not Manlio Argu
