Synopsis

The book ""The Island of Cuba: A Descriptive and Historical Account of the Great Antilla"" by Andrew Summers Rowan is a comprehensive exploration of the history and culture of Cuba. The author delves into the island's geography, flora and fauna, and the various peoples who have inhabited it over the centuries. He also provides a detailed account of the island's colonial past, including the arrival of Columbus and the subsequent Spanish conquest, as well as the struggles for independence in the 19th and 20th centuries. Rowan's book is not just a history lesson, however. He also describes the island's vibrant culture, including its music, dance, and cuisine, and provides a glimpse into the daily lives of its people. The author's personal experiences in Cuba add a unique perspective to the narrative, and his admiration for the island and its people is evident throughout. Overall, ""The Island of Cuba"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this important Caribbean nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
