Sinopse

In 'Don Quixote of the Mancha, Retold by Judge Parry,' the timeless tale of the errant knight Don Quixote is reimagined and retold with fresh vigor, capturing the adventurous spirit and comedic brilliance intrinsic to Cervantes' original narrative. This collection intertwines the classic satire with a modern sensibility, offering readers a spectrum of literary styles that blend the intricate with the accessible. Through its pages, the anthology merges the old with the new, presenting a vibrant and dynamic reworking that pays homage to the original while standing as a notable work of its own. The collaboration between the legendary Cervantes and the astute interpretations of Judge Parry acknowledges the lasting impact of Cervantes on world literature and cultural heritage. Representative of early modern Spanish literature and the late Victorian reinterpretation, this anthology traverses centuries, uniting the strengths of both authors. Thoughtful adaptation by Sir Edward Abbott Parry animates the classic work through a distinctive lens, highlighting the endurance of its themes across different eras. Collectively, the authors offer a nuanced perspective grounded in both historical context and contemporary relevance, enriching the reader's understanding of the socio-cultural narratives timelessly touched by 'Don Quixote.' For those who seek a multifaceted literary journey, this anthology offers an unparalleled opportunity. It refines the dialogue between past and present, challenging readers to engage with multifarious voices and thoughtful reinterpretations. This volume serves as both an educational resource and an engaging narrative experience, encouraging exploration beyond the traditional boundaries of Cervantes' masterpiece. Dive into the complexity and richness of perspectives housed within this collection, and enjoy the scholarly insights it provides into the evolving discourse surrounding one of literature'Äôs most enduring works.

    After the United States embassy in Havana was closed in 1961, relations between the countries broke off. A thaw came in 1977 with the opening of a de facto embassy in Havana, the United States Interests Section—where Vicki Huddleston would serve under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. 
     
     
      
    In her memoir of a diplomat at work, she tells gripping stories of face-to-face encounters with Fidel Castro and the initiatives she undertook, like the transistor radios she furnished to ordinary Cubans. Along with inside accounts of dramatic episodes such as the Elián González custody battle, Huddleston also evokes the charm of the island country and her affection for the Cuban people. 
     
     
      
    Uniquely qualified to explain the inner workings of United States-Cuba relations, Huddleston examines the Obama administration's diplomatic opening of 2014, the mysterious "sonic" brain and hearing injuries suffered by United States and Canadian diplomats serving in Havana, and the rescinding of the diplomatic opening under the Trump administration. She recounts missed opportunities for détente, and the myths, misconceptions, and lies that have long pervaded United States-Cuba relations. Our Woman in Havana is essential for everyone interested in Cuba as well as policymakers and observers who study the stormy relationship with our near neighbor.
