Dos personajes, dos representaciones de una misma raÃz, la de la nacionalidad cubana, conforman el hilo conductor de esta narración brillante, divertida, chispeante, jocosa y seria al mismo tiempo. A través de Cristóbal y Criollo, Newton Briones Montoto desglosa el surgimiento de la cubanÃa y el asentamiento de lo que más tarde serÃa la capital de la Isla de Cuba.
No es un libro de historia como tal, como los que conocemos, No, no es un libro asÃ. Además, los dos personajes perfectamente concebidos hablan con usted en todo momento en una especie de omnisciente presencia testimonial y con tal alarde de sabidurÃa y gracia criolla que a usted no le va a quedar más remedio que leerse el dichoso libro de un tirón.
El autor, recientemente fallecido, es (porque deseo mantener el tiempo presente) un digno, prolijo y experimentado conocedor del oficio más solitario del mundo, el de escribir, y lo demuestra con creces.
Se narran hechos históricos con importantes personajes que en su momento dado desempeñaron un papel destacado en el desarrollo de la historia de la Isla de Cuba.
Este libro es una de las mejores interpretaciones que se puedan haber dado del surgimiento y la consolidación de esa caracterÃstica única que nos conforma como seres racionales, alegres, pensantes, piropeadores, gozosos de la hermosa hembra caribeña, esa que contonea con sensualidad sus amplias caderas sabiendo que con cada movimiento suyo despierta el deseo natural de ese hombre que, además de trabajar, es capaz de amar con todo su corazón y su coraje.
