Title: El Gran Zoo Author: Nicolas Guillen First edition Signed by Nicolas Guillen. El pasado año se celebró el 20º aniversario de la muerte del poeta cubano Nicolás Guillén, símbolo de la lírica antillana junto con José Martí. Ahora, con este motivo, se recupera en España uno de sus libros más singulares, 'El gran zoo', un bestiario irónico y crítico con ilustraciones de Arnal Ballester.Publicado por Libro del Zorro Rojo, 'El gran Zoo' es un objeto libro con unas impresionantes ilustraciones en color que ha dibujado el catalán Arnal Ballerter, Premio Nacional de Ilustración en 2008, y que acompañan a cada uno de estos poemas plagados de humor y que en ocasiones se convierten en fábulas con moraleja. Unos textos en los que Guillén (Camagüey, 1902-La Habana,1989), cuya vida estuvo marcada por el fuerte compromiso social y político, se torna jovial, irónico y mordaz para construir un zoo como metáfora del mundo. Aunque algunos críticos lo señalan como la metáfora de Cuba y de los cubanos. Nicolás Guillén, la voz de la poesía negra y mulata, comenzó a escribir los primeros poemas de 'El Gran Zoo' en 1958, durante su exilio en Buenos Aires, y los publicó sueltos un año más tarde en la revista 'Lunes de Revolución'. Finalmente, en 1967 fueron reunidos en un volumen, publicado por el Instituto Cubano del Libro. Considerada obra clave de la poesía del siglo XX, el propio Guillén dijo que era el vínculo que le unía a las figuras elegidas, amigos, enemigos o conocidos.
Para Selena Millares, en 'El Gran Zoo' "se alternan los grandes espacios, el de los agentes del bien y del mal, respectivamente; naturaleza y civilización. El primero identifica un mundo primigenio de inocencia ultrajada que se quiere recuperar, y el segundo, toda una plaga de maldiciones, que habla de represión, racismo y miseria.

First book about production of the SUGAR in CUBA. Printed year: 1797 Title: Memoria sobre el mejor mode de fabricar el azucar que en junta celebrada sociedad patriotica havana 1797 First Cuban book about SUGAR FABRICATION. Super very rare Cuban Book and one of the more importants. Cuba has a long-established scientific history which could be considered to have started with the publication in 1673, in Spain, of the first scientific tome written in Cuba by Lazaro de Flores, a physician. The first scientific paper published in Cuba itself was in 1714 and was on astronomical observations. The founding of the Real y Pontificia "Universidad de San Gerónimo? in Havana in 1728 for the study of medicine formally established medical scientific investigation and this was followed by the founding of the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País based in the scientific output of the universities, in 1793. The year 1797 is considered the year of scientific explosion because of the number of scientific papers emanating from La Habana. They included "Disertación sobre algunas plantas cubanas", "Oración inaugural en elogio de la cirugía", "Disertación sobre la fiebre maligna llamada vulgarmente vómito negro"," Discurso sobre las buenas propiedades de la tierra bermeja para el cultivo de la caña"," Memoria sobre el mejor modo de fabricar azúcar and, in July that year, the first defense of the theories of Copernicus was published. By 1826 there had developed a significant life-sciences scientific establishment which was evidenced in part by the launching of the Medical Journal of Havana in 1840 and the creation of the Real Academia de Ciencias Médicas, Físicas y Naturales de la Habana in 1861. In 1867 the Academia de Ciencias in Havana was founded, followed by the Sociedad Para Estudios Clínicos in 1879, representing the first multi-disciplinary health sciences organization in Cuba.From our extensive bibliographic inventory.All items are guaranteed to be 100% authentic.Returns: 14 day money back guarantee if item is Unsatisfactory to Buyers standards.
