PIG’S FOOT
Book ID/图书代码： 02000012B54318
English Summary/英文概要： One day Oscar Kortico wakes to find himself utterly alone in the world. As the sole descendant of his family line he is not sure what to do or where he should go, but in the midst of this uncertainty, he holds fast to what his grandfather always told him: ’No man knows who he is until he knows his past, the history of his country.’
As he sets out to find the lost village of Pata de Puerco and the meaning of the magical pig’s-foot amulet he has inherited, the search for his country’s hidden history becomes entangled with his search for the truth about himself.
Through a vivid, if not entirely reliable, retelling of the stories of his ancestors we live the tumultuous history of Cuba through Oscar’s eyes, from the arrival of slaves through the wars of independence, to Bacardi rum, dictatorship, revolution and, finally, to a freedom of sorts.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一天, Oscar Kortico醒来发现自己处在一个完全孤独的世界。作为家族唯一的后人他不知道要做什么,或者应该去做什么。但处于这种不确定性中,他紧紧抓住他的爷爷对他的忠告:“没有人知道他是谁,直到他知道他的过去,他的国家的历史。”
当他开始着手寻找丢失的Pata de Puerco村庄以及他继承的神奇的猪足护身符的含义,寻找他的国家被隐藏的历史成为他寻找自己真相最纠结的事。
通过一个生动的,如果不是完全可靠的复述他祖先的故事，让我们以Oscar的眼观经历了动荡的古巴历史,从奴隶制度的出现到独立战争时期,百家朗姆酒、独裁、革命,最后,到达自由的社会。(LNL)
