This publication of illustrations by Javier Mariscal and texts by Mauricio Vicent, proposes a visual journey through five centuries of Havana history.
This edition of AC/E in co-edition with GeoPlaneta, analyzes the strategic position of Havana throughout history as the nerve center of the Caribbean. From the history of its first settlers before the arrival of the colonizers, the arrival of Columbus and the conquerors, or the growth and evolution of the city through important landmarks, they are the themes that designer and cartoonist Javier Mariscal is reeling in some drawings with great visual detail. A kaleidoscopic look at all the Habanas within Havana itself: Havana and its architecture, Havana of music, Havana of its palaces, columns and theaters. The Havana of its people, street vendors, mechanics, officials ... Havana and its relationship with the countryside, with coffee and tobacco sugar, among other topics.
