“Fidel’s devotion to the word is almost magical.”—Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The most comprehensive selection of the most famous speeches of Fidel Castro is now available in the original Spanish language.

An articulate and incisive, if controversial, political figure on the world stage for five decades, Fidel Castro is undoubtedly one of history’s greatest orators.

Beginning with his eloquent courtroom defense speech (“History will absolve me”) and concluding with his reflections on the prospects for the Cuban Revolution “post-Fidel,” this book sheds light on the future of Cuba and Latin America as well as their past.

This book is available in English as the Fidel Castro Reader.
