My impression / From the back cover

This book appears to be carefully laid out to present the ideas of Jose Marti. Spanish is used on the left-hand page, English on the right, and the paragraphs are numbered for ease in matching them up. From the back: Revolutionary, hero of the Cuban War of Independence, poet, essayist, Jose Marti is a towering figure in the intellectual and political history of Spanish America. The thoughts gathered here in a bilingual edition show the breadth of his concerns as well as the depth and clarity of his intellect, and are still timely in the last quarter of the Twentieth Century. Carlos Ripoll exiled himself from his native Cuba in 1960. He has lived in New York City since then, where he currently is Professor of Romance Languages at Queens College. In 1969 and 1971 he was awarded grants by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Research Center of the City University of New York to facilitate his work on Jose Marti. Professor Ripoll is the author of five books and many articles on the great Cuban thinker, as well as others on Latin American letters.
