Tres tristes tigres

In this masterpiece, Cabrera Infante narrates the nightlife of a Havana that has already disappeared, full of bohemia, marginal life, music, cinema, joy and freedom. Tres tristes tigres is a true language festival due to the author's ability to reflect street slang and mix it with unique humor and brilliant word games. Starring the city and the beings that populate it, it was originally published in 1967, after winning the Short Library Prize in 1964. Banned in Cuba by the Castro regime and retained in Spain by Franco's censorship after the awarding of the award, it nevertheless managed to become a fundamental novel of the 20th century in Spanish and change the course of Latin American literature.
