The text positions Infante as a singular Latin American writer and exile who personally knew major figures, then frames the book as a sequence of vignettes and short stories tracing “that sad unhappy island” from prehistoric dawn through history and beyond. With grim humor, it contrasts sunny geography with darkest history, illustrating how personal myth can become political confinement.","44……*4ba4………~*6433h张。.v3、、4  \nLEABHARLANNA CHONTAE NA GAILLIMHE(GALWAY COUNTY LIBRARIES)  \n29Class No...………  …   …  \n\n| Date of Return   | Date of Return   | Date of Return   |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 230CT 200  \u003Cbr>B  \u003Cbr>2UU⁵  \u003Cbr>THD  \u003Cbr>CIRC  \u003Cbr>4  \u003Cbr>GALWA  \u003Cbr>LIB   | 3  \u003Cbr>ALLYBANE LIB  \u003Cbr>8         FB0  \u003Cbr>ULATION  \u003Cbr>Y COUNTY  \u003Cbr>RARIES   | RARY   |\n|  |  |  |\n\nBooks are on loan for 21 days from date of issue.  \nFines for overdue books:10p for each week or portionof a week plus cost of postage incurred in recovery.  \n# View of Dawn in the Tropics\n\nG.Cabrera Infante,recognized as one of the most original LatinAmerican writers,has written novels,stories,critical essays,articlesand screenplays,and has lectured at universities from Cambridge toChicago.  \nHe grew up in Cuba under the dictator Batista,knew Guevara(whom he calls Chaos Guevara)and Fidel Castro personally and livesnow in England as an exile.Infante believes that one man's myth isanother man's prison and sets out to prove it in View of Dawn in theTropics.He says that this book ‘is a series of vignettes and shortstories that tell the story of \"that sad unhappy island\"since the dawnof prehistory through history and after,where revolutionary myth-ology lurks.It was Castro who said once \"History will absolve me\".A journalist friend answered him in a newspaper,\"History will prob-ably absolve you but not geography\".The next day the journalist(no longer a friend)had to seek asylum in an embassy in Havana.View of Daon in the Tropics tries to prove,with grim humour,thatCubans live both in sunny geography and darkest history.  \nFaber and Faber have also published his books,Three TrappedTigers,Infante's Inferno and Holy Smoke.  \nby the same author  \n# THREE TRAPPED TIGERSINFANTE's INFERNOHOLY SMOKE\n\n上，45t  \nsr5at-,4-小,\"s\"  \ns了他e2(2e力*分4,  \n\n| fi   |\n| --- |\n| VIEW OF  \u003Cbr>DAWN IN THE  \u003Cbr>TROPICS   |\n| G.Cabrera  \u003Cbr>Infante   |\n\nTranslated from the Spanishby Suzanne Jill LevineRevised by the author  \nGALWAY COUNTY LIBRARIES  \nfaber and faber  \nLONDON·BOSTON  \nFirst published in Great Britain in 1988by Faber and Faber Limited3 Queen Square London wCIN 3AUThis paperback edition first published in 1990  \nOriginally published in Spanish in 1974as Vista del amanecer en el trópico  \nPrinted in England by Clays Ltd,St Ives plcAll rights reserved  \nCGuillermo Cabrera Infante,1974  \nThis English edition C Guillermo Cabrera Infante andSuzanne Jill Levine,1988  \nThis book is sold subject to the condition that-it shall not,byoay of trade or otheroise,be lent,resold,hired out orotheroise circulated without the publisher's prior consent inany form of binding or cover other than that in wohich it ispublished and without a similar condition including thiscondition being imposed on the subsequent purchaser.  \nBritish Library Cataloguing in Publication Data  \nCabrera InfanteG.View of dawn in the tropics.  \nI.TitleII.Vista del amanecer enel trópico.English836[r]PQ7389.C233ISBN O-571-15127-2  \nF77,290  \nP89  \nTo the memory of  \nComandante Plinio Prieto,who was shotby firing squadin September 1960  \nIn memory of  \nComandante Alberto Mora,who shot himselfin September 1972","cbCaieSyzV5OfsLY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieSyzV5OfsLY","pdf",5756272,1,180,"English","en",105,"# View of Dawn in the Tropics\n## Author and exile background\n## Cuba: geography versus history\n## Publication details and dedications","[{\"question\":\"What kind of structure does Infante say the book uses?\",\"answer\":\"He describes it as a series of vignettes and short stories that tell the story of Cuba from the dawn of prehistory through history and after.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text relate Cuba’s geography to its history?\",\"answer\":\"It argues, with grim humor, that Cubans live in both sunny geography and darkest history, showing how revolutionary mythology can linger.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are the people commemorated in the dedications?\",\"answer\":\"The text dedicates the book in memory of Comandante Plinio Prieto and Comandante Alberto Mora, both referenced with the dates of their deaths.\"}]","View of Dawn in the Tropics -
