It was the early 1960s. The place, a far-off corner of the Himalayas long fabled in Tibetan tradition to be hiding a valley of immortality among its peaks and glaciers - a real-life Shangri-La. They waited generations for the prophesied lama to come, the one with the secret knowledge of how to "open" the Hidden Land. Then, one day, he came. His name was Tulshuk Lingpa.

Listening to the first few chapters I thought I made a mistake by buying this book. However I was completely wrong this had been one of the most important books I have read. Narration was great too.

If you want to understand the deeper layers of cuban culture, this is the go too book. The writing is well written, each story is intriguing and the narration was superb. This gave me insights into Cuba that I would never have been exposed to in any other book. Highly recommend this one.

Award-winning author Mark Kurlansky presents an insider's view of Havana: the elegant, tattered city he has come to know over more than 30 years. Part cultural history, part travelogue, with recipes throughout, Havana celebrates the city's singular music, literature, baseball and food; its five centuries of outstanding neglected architecture; and its extraordinary blend of cultures.
