"Havana casts its spell on all who visit. One hundred twenty-five black-and-white photographs, both recent and vintage, and most never before published, have been brought together here with evocative text to tell the story of this extraordinary city. The photographs, from an array of remarkable Cuban photographers including Osvaldo Salas, Raul Corrales, Alberto Korda, and many others, examine the links between Havana's present and its past. The photographs capture not just the stunning architecture, but also the people, the music, the ageless traditions, the tenderness, and the turbulence that are the real Havana." "Many of these photographs have been seen in major exhibitions internationally, but have never been brought together in a single definitive work. Havana in My Heart celebrates the formidable talent and skill of Cuban photographers and the vibrant and irrepressible spirit of this legendary city. The author takes the reader behind the tourist cliches of Havana's colorful facade to experience the daily lives of its inhabitants, in turn quirky, noble, soulful, and passionate - but always intensely human."--Jacket

This beautiful book revitalizes the values and thoughts of Che Guevara, revealing the sensitive and passionate man behind the legend, determined to pursue his socialist dreams. It presents Che through the lens of key Cuban photographers, posters, and the iconography that emerged after his death in 1967 during a failed revolution in Bolivia. Accompanied by previously unpublished quotations from Che's writings, the images showcase his commitment to timeless human values like honour, truth, loyalty, and honesty, illustrating his evolution from guerilla fighter to Cuban Revolution leader and back to guerilla warfare. The portrayal is of a complex individual with a refined aesthetic sensibility, remarkable self-discipline, and a strong sense of destiny. This unique work is based on meticulous research from both official and private archives, combining photographs and writings to create an accessible and authentic portrait of Che, linking his public persona with his private life. It features remarkable images, many never before published, captured by some of Cuba's most important photographers. The book draws from major Cuban archives and personal collections, including insights from those who knew Che intimately, such as Harry Villegas, Leonardo Tamayo, Orlando Borrego, Alberto Granado, Perfecto Romero, and Oscar Fernaudez Mell, each contributing to a rich narrative of Che's life and legacy.
