Features: Fuentes "frankly" describes the character formation of an outstanding revolutionary and the process of a "detached from reality" revolution. She delves into the events and plots layer by layer with historical craftsmanship, editing and re-editing the ever-changing challenges. All the materials are presented to the readers, allowing them to draw their own conclusions about the only social revolution that took place on the continent of Latin America. Brazilian journalist Claudia Fuentes deeply immersed herself in the history of the Cuban leader. She spent nine years researching the archives that Castro specifically opened for her, crafting a nearly-century-long epic of heroism like carving, painting, and embroidery. Her narrative makes the reader feel as if they are there. In 1926, Fidel Castro was born and began his life. In the rural of Birán, he was an unbound child; in Havana, he was a rebellious youth.
