About this product
Product Information
'Havana's ravishing decay has never been more beautifully rendered. This is a strange and wonderfully dreamy book.' Sunday Telegraph Abilio Estevez conjures up the melancholy beauty of contemporary Havana with passion and eloquence in this story about a trio of misfits. When Victorio leams that his home is about to be demolished he leaves his job, bums his possessions and takes to the streets. Wandering the city, he meets two people who change his life- Salma, a young prostitute, and Don Fuco, an enigmatic old man who performs as a clown. In the ruins of an old theatre, Don Fuco initiates his new friends into the secrets of poetry and theatre, bringing beauty, magic and exuberance into the pinched lives of Havana's citizens.Distant Palaces is a novel about human resilience and joy in the face of crushing odds. It confirms Abilio Estevez as one of Latin America's most talented and inventive novelists.

- r***n (353)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFantastic seller, item arrived quickly, well packaged and in great condition as described. Really good value for money, 6 great vintage books for under £20, very happy with my purchase! Thanks so much ⭐️
- n***l (19)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBought these on a whim and didn't realise the delivery date was when I was away. I contacted the seller and they said it'd arrive Monday. Today is Sunday and they've turned up already. These are pre loved books, not badly damaged ones. 500 characters isn't enough to express the quality to price ratio. Quite a few big authors too (Dan Brown, Jeffrey Archer, Wilbur Smith). Be careful opening the box as even though it is packaged well, there's nothing protecting the books. Will buy again.
