Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this engrossing, two-part novel, which weaves together fact and fiction, Yolanda Ortal-Miranda brings to center stage one of the tragic but generally under-reported results of the Cuban Revolution: the steady exodus by sea of thousands of Cubans, desperate for freedom and at the breaking point in their ability to tolerate the stifling tyranny of the Castro regime. The plot is gripping, and the characters are colorful, fascinating and endearing. Through them, we see the realities of life in post-Revolution Cuba and the enduring quest to live where there is freedom and respect for human rights. As the novel opens, the reader is immediately transported to Cuba--a parallel, but third world, universe just 90 miles from American shores. The year is 1970, and the story is true. Rafael, a determined young man, is cutting cane at a People's Farm, hating every minute of the cruel, obligatory servitude that has been thrust on him by the government. After unsuccessful attempts to leave legally, he and his three brothers decide to swim across the dangerous waters of Guantanamo Bay, in the dark of night, to seek political asylum at the U.S. Naval Base. Will they succeed? The characters of Part II are fictional stereotypes of the following generation, whose desperation to be free, no less than those who came before, gives them the courage to defy nature and the Cuban government by crossing the perilous, shark-infested Straits of Florida in anything that will float. The reader will meet, and come to know, a fascinating collage of desperate Cubans whose lives intersect in the 1990s as they flee their homeland in an old fishing boat: Amalia, a resolute university professor; Gustavo, an oceanographer in love with Amalia; Pedro, a veteran fisherman and captain of the boat; his wife, Aquilina, the devoted mother of their totally disabled son, Santiago; and Maribel and Arturo, political dissidents. When their boat capsizes, a "Brothers to the Rescue" plane appears. Will the survivors be saved? The author's hope in writing this novel is that its readers will emotionally connect with the characters as their stories unfold, and that they will be truly moved by the real and ongoing human tragedy that the book exposes.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Cuando lloran los delfines" toma lugar en Cuba y en Los Estados Unidos. La primera parte, "En Noches sin Luna," esta inspirada en la verdadera historia de un joven cubano, Rafael, y sus tres hermanos que atravesaron nadando la Bahia de Guantanamo--a pesar de los tiburones y barcas patrulleras castristas--en medio de la noche para pedir asilo politico en La Base Naval. La increible escapada fue la culminacion de anos de prision, trabajos forzados, y haber solicitado inutilmente permiso de salir legalmente de Cuba. La segunda parte, "Arenas Rojas," es la historia fascinante, repetida a traves de los anos, de la desesperada huida atravesando el Estrecho de la Florida en barquichuelos y balsas improvisadas. El lector conocera un fascinante collage de cubanos desesperados cuyas vidas se cruzan al tratar de escapar de su patria en un viejo barco pesquero: Amalia, una determinada profesora universitaria; Gustavo, un oceanografo enamorado de Amalia; Pedro, un pescador atormentado por sus circunstancias; Aquilina, su esposa; y Maribel y Arturo, disidentes politicos perseguidos. Cuando el barco se hunde durante un huracan, los sobrevivientes logran llegar a un cayo. Son descubiertos por un avion de "Hermanos al Rescate," que promete volver a recogerlos. Se salvaran el resto de los sobrevivientes, o pereceran como miles de victimas que han muerto en el mar durante los ultimos 50 anos, tratando de escapar? "When the Dolphins Cry" takes place in Cuba and the United States. Part I, "In Moonless Nights," was inspired by the true story of a young man, Rafael, and his three brothers who swam across the shark-infested waters of Guantanamo Bay in the dark of night to seek political asylum in the United States at the American Naval Base. Their daring escape to freedom capped off years of being in prison for political dissent and repeated efforts to obtain permission to emigrate legally from Castro's Cuba. Part II, "Red Sands," is a gripping blend of fiction and actual historical events; it pays tribute to the thousands of Cuban men, women, and children who have risked all in pursuit of freedom by crossing the Straits of Florida in anything that will float. The reader will meet, and come to know, a fascinating collage of desperate Cubans whose lives intersect as they flee their homeland in an old fishing boat: Amalia, a young, resolute University professor; Gustavo, an oceanographer in love with Amalia; Pedro, a veteran fisherman and captain of the boat; his wife, Aquilina; and Maribel and Arturo, political dissidents. After their boat capsizes during a hurricane, a "Brothers to the Rescue" plane appears on the horizon. Will the survivors be saved? Or will they perish like countless others whose voices have been forever silenced by the sea? This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Siluetas en Piedra Azul de la autora cubana Yolanda Ortal-Miranda, es un mosaico cautivador de personajes producto de la imaginacion de la escritora, que viven en la tambien imaginaria y pintoresca villa llamada Piedra Azul, donde hay un pequeno college que sirve de escenario para la novela, la cual contiene una magica mezcla de personas fascinantes, con sus suenos, excentricidades, debilidades, pasiones y aspiraciones, narrada con muy buen humor, riqueza de lenguaje sin excesos y un estilo muy personal, no carente de poesia e ironia. Esta, su tercera novela, tiene un tema y tono totalmente diferente a sus obras anteriores. Siluetas en Piedra Azul desarrolla un tema interesante para todo ser observador, que se pregunte acerca de "la persona total, la verdadera y real" que creemos conocer, por ejemplo, la enfermera en el hospital o en este caso, el competente profesorado, ante la clase; la persona profesional actuando como tal, y el otro ser humano -desconocido fuera de su escenario- que somos todos, cuando no estamos ejerciendo nuestro "papel," bajo contrato, en la sociedad, al funcionar en casa, como parte de un nucleo familiar, sin dejar de ser medico, profesora, piloto, arquitecto, abogada, o policia.
