Overview

Un viaje de Asturias a La Habana. La historia de los fundadores del restaurante ZARA el célebre cubano de Madrid

«Un texto honesto, limpio, ameno, emocionante, desgarrador, reconfortante y cálido. Un libro para entender lo complicada que puede llegar a ser la existencia y cómo el amor, repartido en dosis cotidianas, allana el camino hacia la felicidad». -Pedro Zuazua, El País

NOVELA BASADA EN HECHOS REALES

Pepe, un joven asturiano aficionado al dibujo que abandona la España de la posguerra y emigra a Cuba en busca de mejor fortuna, e Inés, una joven maestra cubana hija de emigrantes asturianos afincados en la isla, se conocen casualmente al pie de la escalinata del Centro Asturiano de la Habana al salir de un recital. A partir de ese encuentro, sus destinos se unirán para siempre.
 
La historia de dos generaciones de emigrantes que lo arriesgaron todo, unas veces para ganar y otras para perder. La lucha y el trabajo como filosofía para enfrentar los golpes de la vida. El amor a la familia como escudo y refugio ante la adversidad.
 
Con un estilo emotivo y detallista, Inés M. Llanos recoge historias de sus antepasados para iluminar el viaje de sacrificio y amor de sus padres desde la Habana revolucionaria hasta Madrid, pasando por Asturias, la tierra de sus ancestros, en lo que quiere ser un homenaje a la memoria de los héroes cotidianos que, como ellos, supieron sobreponerse a la ferocidad de la vida, a las separaciones, a las injusticias y a la desilusión, y que, a pesar del sufrimiento, buscaron la felicidad y la encontraron.
 
La maestra y el pintor habla de sueños y de esperanzas, de la complejidad de la vida, del valor del corazón, de la revolución que lo cambió todo, de las cosas que se quedaron por el camino y de las que nacieron del dolor de la pérdida, de la tristeza por lo que no pudo ser y de la gratitud por lo recibido. De la importancia de ese legado.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A journey from Asturias to Havana. The story of the founders of ZARA, the celebrated Cuban restaurant in Madrid.

“An honest, clean, entertaining, exciting, heartbreaking, soothing, and warm text. A book to understand how complicated life can be, and how love, dealt in daily doses, paves the way to happiness.” —Pedro Zuazua, El País

A NOVEL BASED ON TRUE EVENTS.

Pepe, a young Asturian fond of drawing, leaves Spain after the Civil War and migrates to Cuba to make his fortune. Inés, a young Cuban teacher, the daughter of Asturian immigrants settled on the island, casually meets Pepe at the foot of the stairway, stepping out of a recital at the Asturian Center in Havana. From that brief encounter, their fates become forever intertwined.
 
The story of two generations of immigrants that risked it all, sometimes to win, sometimes to lose. Struggle and work were their philosophy to face the blows of life. Family love was a shield and a sanctuary in adversity.
 
With a moving and detailed style, Inés M. Llanos takes her family history to illuminate the journey of sacrifice and love her parents made from the revolutionary Havana to Madrid, via Asturias, the land of her ancestors, in what is meant to be an homage to the memory of everyday heroes that, same as them, knew how to overcome the ferocity of life, the separations, the injustice, the disappointments, and regardless of their suffering, looked for happiness and found it.
 
The Teacher and the Painter speaks of dreams and hope, of the complexity of life, of the value of passion, of the revolution that changed everything, of the things they lost along the way and the ones brought about by the pain of that loss, of the grief over everything that could not be, and of the gratitude for what was given, of the importance of such a legacy.
