Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba continues to loom large in U.S. consciousness and politics. Culture and Customs of Cuba is a much-needed resource to give students and other readers an in-depth view of our important island neighbor. Luis, of Cuban descent, provides detailed, clear insight into Cuban culture in its historical context. Religion, customs, economy, media, performing and creative arts, and cinema are some of the many topics discussed. Included in this discussion are contributions of Cubans in exile which Luis considers an inherent part of Cuban culture. Encouraging a wider understanding of Cuba, this volume describes and highlights the cultures and customs of the island. Cuba, as one will learn while reading this book, is an island of many cultural customs that have evolved out of a rich history. Presented in the context of three interrelated periods in Cuban history: the Colonial, the Republic, and Castro's Revolution, this book explores Cuba's dynamic culture. Luis also notes the spread of Cuban culture abroad, where a significant part of the Cuban population has lived since the earl 19th century. Students and others interested in this country will find this book to be extraordinarily helpful and informative.

Download or read book El Padre del hijo pr digo written by José María Cabodevilla and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si la parábola del hijo pródigo es el «evangelio del evangelio», su resumen más elocuente, sin duda el padre que ahí se describe es la mejor descripción que el evangelio nos ha dado de Dios Padre. Se trata de un padre cuya misericordia excede no sólo la comprensión del hombre, sino también la fe del creyente. Porque es una misericordia asociada a algo más admirable que ella misma y sobre lo cual apenas se habla, algo que el simple concepto de misericordia no incluye: la alegría que Dios experimenta al perdonar a sus hijos, el hecho portentoso de que unas criaturas puedan afectar así al Creador. ¿Dios, impasible? No se es padre impunemente: el amor ha hecho vulnerable a Dios, lo ha hecho capaz de alegría y de sufrimiento, porque lo ha hecho extremadamente sensible al amor o des-amor de sus hijos. En su larga y honda meditación, nada convencional por cierto, Cabodevilla ha contemplado detenidamente al padre de la parábola como imagen privilegiada de Dios Padre, una imagen que es no sólo la más revela-dora y fidedigna de todo el evangelio, sino también la más asombrosa, la más desconcertante.
