Synopsis "Fidel Castro: Biografia a dos Voces"

Sociólogo, teórico de la cultura, periodista y una de las voces más representativas del movimiento altermundista, Ignacio Ramonet ha logrado desvelar -tras semanas de intensas conversaciones- las claves de la Revolución cubana a través de la biografía humana y política del último «monstruo sagrado» de la política internacional: el polémico Fidel Castro. Testimonio excepcional y análisis histórico, este libro es una auténtica «biografía a dos voces»: la memoria oral del comandante.¿Cómo fue su infancia?¿Dónde y cuándo se forjó el rebelde?¿Cómo eran sus relaciones con Che Guevara?¿Estuvo el mundo al borde de una guerra nuclear durante la llamada «crisis de los misiles»?¿Cuántas veces han querido asesinarlo?¿Qué impresión le causó el Papa Juan Pablo II cuando visitó la isla en 1998?¿Por qué critica tanto a Felipe González y a José María Aznar mientras alaba la figura del rey Juan Carlos?¿Qué piensa de la globalización neoliberal, de la guerra de Irak y del presidente Bush?¿Por qué las autoridades cubanas arrestaron a unos setenta opositores no violentos en marzo de 2003 y aplicaron, ese mismo año, la pena de muerte a los secuestradores de una lancha?¿Existe la corrupción en el régimen?¿Es el socialismo en Cuba realmente «irreversible»?¿Hacia dónde caminala política y la economía de la isla?¿Qué ocurrirá después de Fidel Castro? El exhaustivo cuestionario de Ignacio Ramonet -más de cien horas de entrevistas y de inéditas revelaciones- es al tiempo un recorrido apasionante por la controvertida figura de Fidel Castro y un formidable relato sobre el pasado, el presente y el porvenir de la Revolución. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Now in paperback, the intimate and highly revealing life story of the world's longest-serving, most charismatic, and contro- versial head of state in modern times. Numerous attempts have been made to get Fidel Castro to tell his own story. But it was only as he stepped down after five decades in power, that the Cuban leader finally decided to set out the detail of his life for the world to read. In these pages, he presents a compelling chronicle that spans the harshness of his school teachers; the early failures of the revolution; his comradeship with Che Guevara and their astonishing, against-all-odds victory over the dictator Batista; the Cuban perspective on the Bay of Pigs and the ensuing missile crisis; the active role of Cuba in African independence movements; his dealings with no fewer than ten successive American presidents, from Eisenhower to George W. Bush; and a number of thorny issues, including human rights, the treatment of homosexuals, and the use of the death penalty in Cuba. Along the way he shares intimacies about more personal matters: the benevolent strict- ness of his father, his success- ful attempt to give up cigars, his love of Ernest Hemingway's novels, and his calculation that by not shaving he saves up to ten working days each year. Drawing on more than one hundred hours of interviews, this spoken autobiography will stand as the definitive record of an extraordinary life lived in turbulent times.
