The Man Who Left / El Hombre que se fue - Juan Matos - Bog

The Man Who Left / El hombre que se fue portrays exquisitely and bilingually (English and Spanish) the immigrants' feeling, their Afro-Caribbean cultural identity and the compromise with their roots. Five human aspects are presented here: The nostalgic immigration experience; love that exalts women's dignity; the bittersweet evocation of social reality from the native land; the tribute to family values; and the spiritual vision of the human being-analyzed with emotional sensitivity and solid literary quality.
