Descriere magazin:
Hijuelos\'s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about two young Cuban immigrants, who become stars of a New York dance hall in the 1950s where their lush, sensuous music earns them the title
Mambo Kings, returns in this paperback edition. From FSG Classics, a special twenty-fifth anniversary edition of
Oscar Hijuelos\'s beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The
Mambo Kings Play Songs of
Love. It\'s 1949 and two young Cuban musicians make their way from Havana to the grand stage of New York City. It is the era of mambo, and the Castillo brothers, workers by day, become stars of the dance halls by night, where their orchestra plays the lush, sensuous, pulsing music that earns them the title of the
Mambo Kings. This is their moment of youth, exuberance, love, and freedom--a golden time that decades later is remembered with nostalgia and deep affection.
Hijuelos\'s marvelous portrait of the Castillo brothers, their families, their fellow musicians and lovers, their triumphs and tragedies, re-creates the sights and sounds of an era in music and an unsung moment in American life. Exuberantly celebrated from the moment it was published in 1989, The Mambo Kings
Play Songs of
Love won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1990 (making Hijuelos the first Hispanic recipient of the award). It was adapted for a major motion picture in 1992 ( The Mambo Kings ) and remains a perennial bestseller. The story\'s themes of cultural fusion and identity are as relevant today as they were twenty-five years ago, proving Hijuelos\'s novel to be a genuine and timeless classic.
