Una leyenda del futuro, de Agustín de Rojas, es un admirable estudio sobre la sofocación social que se lleva a cabo en una misión fallida a Titán, una de las lunas de Saturno. El viaje de regreso a tierra fuerza a los tripulantes a confrontar sus miedos más profundos mientras coexisten unos con otros en pleno estado de desesperación. Esta novela extraordinaria, que recuerda 2001: Odisea del espacio de Arthur C. Clarke, es un roman à clef de ciencia ficción sobre las presiones intensas - económicas, ideológicas, psicológicas - de la Cuba comunista.

Even in our darkest hour, it must be stated clearly, the Living Goddess did not abandon Her flock. For beneath the alien jackboot, even when very hope itself seemed lost, there arose, by Her Grace, those yet willing to hold high the torch. We were rich. We were poor. We were young. We were old. We sprang from the soil of this planet. We came from far off-world. We were herdeiros. We were minorities. We held advanced degrees. We were illiterate. We’d been born to arms. We had never touched a weapon in our lives. We were as varied as Her Panoply, our paths to Her Truth – as many as the ...

It is difficult, I suppose, for the children of our safe, modern republic to imagine what life had been like in those days, under the Zin occupation. How does one explain the inexplicable?

There are no words for such things. And so, when my grandchildren ask me, I tell them the only thing I can: We lived those days, I tell ...

Pro tip: When a bunch of alien cats from outer space start blowing up cities without warning, prior plans may have to be altered. Be prepared to improvise. Yosi Weismann had a simple gig: Babysit a grossly irresponsible young man, who just happened to be a prince. Let His Excellency sow his wild oats. Don’t let him kill himself, or anyone else, in the process. Piece of cake for a man of his skills. A glorified vacation. That's how things were supposed to go, at any rate.
