VIEJAS ESTAMPAS CUBANAS. Historias, costumbres y tradiciones de la Cuba Eterna

Description: Raúl Eduardo Chao recibió su doctorado de la Universidad Johns Hopkins y luego de un breve período en la industria pasó 18 años como Profesor Titular y Director de Departamento en las Universidades de Puerto Rico y Detroit. En 1986 fundó una empresa consultora muy exitosa, The Systema Group, desde la cual asistió a muchas empresas Fortune 100 y organizaciones federales y estatales, tanto en los EE. UU. como en el exterior. Él y su esposa Olga viven en Lakeland, Florida. Relatos nostálgicos de una Cuba Libre que ha dejado de existir, y de caminos ya transitados que queremos retomar con estas lecturas, aunque ni podamos ni pensemos volver atrás. El estruendoso centelleo de un poderoso cañón desarrollado por un Coronel de las tropas de Antonio Maceo, la infortunada muerte del atrevido Chacumbele, y el rescate al galope de un valioso prisionero Cubano escoltado por una formidable caballería Española. Esas son tres de las 32 estampas Cubanas que se presentan en este libro. Las estampas son anécdotas populares que forman parte de la historia informal de un pueblo. Se arraigan y perduran en la tradición y son conocidas por más gente de las que recuerdan la historia oficial. Nadie sabe a quien se le ocurrió darle a un ciclón de principios del siglo XIX el nefasto nombre de La Tormenta de la Escarcha Salitrosa. Pero más de 200 años después, los pinareños saben a qué ciclón se le dio ese título, por donde pasó y qué estragos hizo. Conocer estas pequeñas narrativas es parte del espíritu de un pueblo; viñetas y detalles que complementan la historia que presentan los libros, y que son mucho más fáciles de recordar. Raúl Eduardo Chao received his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University and, after a brief stint in the industry, he spent 18 years in the academic world as a tenured professor and Director of the Departments of Chemical Engineering at the Universities of Puerto Rico and Detroit. In 1986, he founded a consulting company focused on helping companies and government agencies simultaneously improve the productivity as well as quality of their services. As President of Systema, Chao has written a dozen books on management, science and history of Cuba along with publishing numerous articles in newspapers and magazines. He and his wife Olga live in Lakeland, Florida and spend long periods of time in Paris. Accounts, legends, and traditions of Eternal Cuba. Nostalgic stories of a Free Cuba that no longer exists, and of roads already traveled that we want to visit again through these readings, although we know we cannot go back or hope to return. The thunderous roar of a powerful cannon developed by a Colonel in Antonio Maceo's troops, the regrettable death of the intrepid Chacumbele, and the galloping rescue of a prized Cuban prisoner as he was escorted by a daunting Spanish regiment. Those are three of the 32 Cuban tales, accounts and real life stories that are featured in this book. Stories like these are popular tales that are part of the informal chronicle of a nation.
