With a creative style, and impeccable severity, the author approaches the biography of José Martí, offering a human vision of the rich and multifaceted life of our National Hero.

Through a harmonious text that summarizes long years of hard research, the work analyzes essential aspects of the political, intellectual and patriotic Marti’s work, appraising it in the historical context, topicality and future projection. In the biography, a very singular and important aspect shows the appreciations made about the family life of this man, teacher and guide for many Cuban generations.

Without exhausting this topic, the book moves to meditation and incite to continue studying and learning from one of the most brilliant men from America.
