by Guillermo Cabrera Infante (Author)

Una de las novelas más importantes escritas en español en el siglo XX.

El libro que consagró a Guillermo Cabrera Infante como uno de los referentes en la literatura contemporánea.

« Qué diría el viejo Bacho si supiera que su música viaja por el Malecón de La Habana, en el trópico, a sesenta y cinco kilómetros por hora?

En esta obra magistral, Cabrera Infante narra la vida nocturna de una Habana ya desaparecida, plena de bohemia, de vida marginal, de música, de cine, de alegría y de libertad. Tres tristes tigres es una auténtica fiesta del idioma por la capacidad del autor para reflejar la jerga callejera y mezclarla con un humor singular y unos brillantes juegos de palabras.

Protagonizada por la ciudad y los seres que la pueblan, fue publicada originalmente en 1967, tras conseguir en 1964 el Premio Biblioteca Breve. Prohibida en Cuba por el régimen de Castro y retenida en España por la censura franquista tras la concesión del premio, logró, no obstante, convertirse en una novela fundamental del siglo XX en español y cambiar el rumbo de la literatura latinoamericana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Cabrera Infante's masterpiece, Three Trapped Tigers is one of the most playful books to reach the U.S. from Cuba.

Filled with puns, wordplay, lists upon lists, and Sternean typography--such as the section entitled "Some Revelations," which consists of several blank pages--this novel has been praised as a more modern, sexier, funnier, Cuban Ulysses.

Centering on the recollections of a man separated from both his country and his youth, Cabrera Infante creates an enchanting vision of life and the many colorful characters found in steamy Havana's pre-Castro cabaret society.
