by Reinaldo Arenas (Author)

Reinaldo Arenas nació en Holguín, Oriente, Cuba en 1943. El 7 de diciembre de 1990, exiliado, puso

fin a su vida, responsabilizando a Fidel Castro de su decisión, en carta testamento que escribió. Es

considerado uno de los mejores escritores cubanos del siglo XX.

Este libro, escrito a los 22 años, es el primero de los cinco libros que componen la pentagonía

areniana. Deslumbrante en su forma, llena de un impulso telúrico y una frescura profunda como los

ríos de la tierra de la que nace, esta obra escrita por un adolescente alucinado y genial. Celestino es

una defensa de la libertad y la imaginación creadora sobre la miseria, la barbaria y la ignorancia. Un

canto a la rebeldía y un ejemplo del poder trascendente de la literatura.


Reinaldo Arenas was born in Holguín, Oriente, Cuba in 1943. On December 7, 1990, in exile, he

ended his life, blaming Fidel Castro for his decision, in a letter of testament that he wrote. He is

considered one of the best Cuban writers of the 20th century.

This book, written at the age of 22, is the first of the five books that make up the Arenian

pentagony. Dazzling in its form, full of a telluric impulse and a deep freshness like the rivers of the

land from which it is born, this work written by a hallucinated and brilliant young man. Celestino

is a defense of freedom and creative imagination over misery, barbarity and ignorance. A song to

rebellion and an example of the transcendent power of literature.
