Cuba: La Habana y los Cubanos



The discovery of the Americas is considered by most reputable historians, biologists, and anthropologists as a significant event that brought profound ecological, cultural, and economic changes and transformed the modern world. During the Post Columbian period, the encounters between the Old and the New World relied on winds and sea currents that determined the best routes for the ships to sail across the oceans. Cuba, a small Caribbean Island named by its discoverer Isabela as a tribute to Spain's revered queen, was favored by a unique geographical location that brought many of the ships to its beautiful shores. In their wake, the Cubans were influenced by the traditions, myths, customs, and religions of the very diverse, and, at times, colliding cultures of the personages that disembarked on this beautiful Island. This exposure to international visitors and immigrants had a mysterious, elegant, entertaining, sensual, and, at times, scandalous impact, that over the years spawned the surprisingly rich folklore and the unique culture that is elegantly described in rich detail in Julio E. Ulloa's thoughtful, compelling, and entertaining narrative. Ulloa's inquisitiveness is all-inclusive as he covers the impact on the Cubans as they were inspired and influenced by Europeans, Africans, and Asians that came from different regions of those continents as well as by the French colonizers that fled Haiti to escape the brutality of colonial rule and the chaos that followed during the reign of King Henri Christophe. The book, rich in spellbinding details, unashamedly transports the reader to the curious world of a pre-1959 era of the demons, spirits, poets, patriots, musicians, and colorful entrepreneurs, that shaped the character of an amazing people.

Acerca del Libro

Prominentes historiadores, biólogos y antropólogos consideran que el descubrimiento de América fue un evento significativo que trajo consigo profundos cambios ecológicos, culturales y económicos que transformaron el mundo moderno. Durante el periodo post colombino, los encuentros entre el viejo y el nuevo mundo dependían de los vientos y de las corrientes marinas que determinaban las mejores rutas para que los barcos atravesaran los océanos. Cuba, la pequeña isla caribeña que fue bautizada por su descubridor con el nombre de Isabela, en honor a la reverenciada reina de España, estaba favorecida por su ubicación geográfica privilegiada que atrajo a numerosos barcos a sus hermosas costas. Esto dio como resultado que los cubanos se vieran influenciados por las tradiciones, mitos, costumbres y religiones de las muy diversas, y en ocasiones contrapuestas, culturas de los personajes que desembarcaron en esta bella isla. Este encuentro con visitantes internacionales y con inmigrantes tuvo un impacto misterioso, elegante, entretenido, sensual y por momentos escandaloso, que al pasar de los años fructificó en un sorprendentemente rico folclor y la singular cultura que es elegantemente descrita con minucioso detalle en la cautivante y entretenida narrativa de Julio E. Ulloa. El interés de Ulloa examina todos los ángulos al tratar el impacto que tuvo sobre los cubanos la inspiración y la influencia europea, africana y asiática que llegó de las diferentes regiones de esos continentes así como de los colonizadores franceses que huían de Haití escapando de la brutalidad colonial y del caos que siguió al reinado de Henri Christophe. El libro, rico en fascinantes detalles, transporta al lector al curioso mundo anterior a 1959, tiempo de demonios, espíritus, poetas, patriotas, músicos y coloridos emprendedores que dieron forma al carácter de un pueblo asombroso.

Perfect for ball demolishers
Size: Medium
The dogs love the chuck it brand. I don’t know what it’s made of but they go crazy over them. Will not play with another ball. Wonder if it’s “laced” with an addictive scent. Have pits. Very durable. Not able to chew to pieces. Last for about 6 months before there is a small break. I keep a back up because when the ball goes missing the house is in chaos. 😆 🤪

Chuckit medium rebound balls
Size: Medium
My 8 month old German shepherd dog loves these balls. They are easy to throw, they bounce great, they are very chewable! She keeps one in her mouth most of the time. It satisfies her need to chew and she does not chew other things. She drops it in the water and lets the hole fill up and drinks that way. The only problem that has caused is suction in her mouth and difficulty in dislodging it for her. However, she would be lost without it!

These are definitely indestructible
Size: Medium
Both of my dogs can destroy a ball in a matter of minutes if I let them play with them (supervised) as is. Well not with these balls. They are the ONLY ones I have found that are 100% indestructible. Please only let your dogs play with these as a toy when supervised though. They go really far when throwing them, so both dogs get a good amount of running and exercise with these. I also bought these because they have the hole in the middle of the ball which is very important in the event that a dog gets one stuck at the back of their throat. This allows them to breath unlike those without this hold. It's an unlikely event, but as dog owners, we all need to be aware of this and educate ourselves on what to do if this SHOULD happen. This isn't a scare tactic, nor a reflection of this particular brand, it can happen with any type of ball. My two dogs are about 45ish lbs and the size is perfect for them, I don't want anything smaller than this. They love them. There is no annoying squeak. Really easy to wash after use. Some balls take forever to get the slimy saliva off, but these don't.
