Carlos Alberto Montaner

The story of José Lezama Lima and his rise as a literary figure in Cuba and his tragic end, alone and silenced in his Havana home.

Under a South American dictatorship, Ernesto Carrion is the leader of a group of revolutionary terrorists who conspire against the military government. While the adventure of his life runs its unfailing course, he enters a deep inner conflict, relentlessly pursuing his ideals of universal freedom, rejecting the only means available to achieve his own.
