古巴人的美好年代：從革命光輝到經濟崩潰的無盡匱乏，真實平凡人物的堅韌、富足、自由與愛。
By 安東尼．迪帕瑪
「古巴人真實的聲音，已經將近八十年沒有被聽到了。」古巴，有兩個。一個是加勒比海上，哥倫布所述人類雙眼見過的最美島嶼；另一個，則存在世界各地的流亡者心中，許多古巴人發誓在它們的國家獲得自由前，絕不重返。這是世界上最受管控、最孤立、散布最多政治宣傳的國家；在燦爛豔陽下流轉著狂喜與悲劇的國家。作者安東尼．迪帕瑪在《紐約時報》擔任駐外記者長達二十二年，他的妻子是古巴女孩。身為家族一分子，他深入走訪古巴，記錄五個平凡家庭橫跨三個世代的故事。在撰寫本書的三年多期間，他刻意避開最受崇拜的神聖三人組──卡斯楚、切．格瓦拉與海明威，以不曾被聽聞過的親身故事，揭開古巴人最真實的生活樣貌。在政治最動盪的近80年中，他們如何看待自己？如何生存下來？他們冒著生命風險訴說，使外界得以首度聽見這些被噤聲的故事。當逆境是常態，調適成為生存必須。他們追求光榮。這裡有世界上最棒的海灘、最經典的蘭姆酒和雪茄、最漂亮的女人，最難以抵擋的音樂，以及最令人聞風喪膽的反抗分子。他們拾起碎片，想出該如何再利用。能將塑膠汽水瓶當成摩托車油罐，在廚房爐灶上加熱舊活塞來修理破輪胎；女人拆開舊電池，用裡頭的黑色糊狀物染出古巴女人都愛的黑色頭髮。他們精通等待，等待電力恢復、等待颶風過去。無論住哪裡或做什麼，他們用自信、勇氣和創造力應對國家拋來的一切，用熱情音樂和歡快舞蹈掩飾與不幸共存。是真實的生活，也是真實的冒險。政局動盪、宗教信仰被挑戰、親愛的人流離失所，他們仍以古巴精神――自豪、獨特的勇氣和力量面對。憑藉不屈不撓的適應力與深不可測的變通能耐，在世界轉動中持續生存。沒有什麼能掏空古巴人對國家的情感，以及對它未來堅守的希望。古巴人仍徜徉於陽光的滋潤和自在，陽光永存在其血液裡。
