Walking through the city following the course that marks history in it, with stops in certain places is the proposal of the authors of this book, which, with equal force make use of words and images to unveil a Havana owner of time and memory. In these chronicles, Ciro Bianchi demonstrates, once again, being an acute and perceptive observer, and making use of his good Creole humor and erudition, he surprises us with anecdotes, curiosities and unsuspected details of streets and Havana neighborhoods, buildings, emblematic sites, events, illustrious residents and others sadly famous... participants in development of the centennial city.
