Astonishing answers to unspoken questions during the DiscoveryA true account of Enrique Diaz's journeys as a young explorer, these writings, wondrous as they may seem, are drawn from his daily log charting his unswerving attempt to prove the existence of a noble and dignified realm here on Earth--the legendary kingdom of Prester John. Follow his pen to the mysterious nations that lie beyond the horizon. Share Enrique's unimaginable perils and meet every strangeness and variety of human being in God's great creation. Every word--each description of the marvels, dangers and delights he encounters--is as he found it to be. Is the world a better place for his striving?If his tales entertain you at least, and elevate your aspirations at best, then I shall consider this story a success. --The Author.

Havana . . . lilting rumbas, café con leche, sultry sea breezes. Sparkling white beaches by day, scintillating nightclubs after dark. This sophisticated, international capital was the crown jewel of an island paradise-until the idealism that fed the Cuban Revolution yielded a nightmare of soul-crushing dictatorship.Adios, Havana is a true account of romance and peril, adventure and patriotism. Fueled by love-love of family, of country, and of each other-a young couple must face the most wrenching of choices: remain in the country they cherish, lose the wealth and position their families strove for generations to attain, and watch their children grow up impoverished under a terrifying regime; or risk escaping with no money or possessions and leave behind all they have ever known to begin a new life in a strange land.A legacy to future generations, this memoir is intended to remind readers of the fragility of freedom . . . to describe the disintegration of a prosperous civilized society and offer counsel on how to prevent a similar catastrophe from happening in America . . . and to show how and why penniless refugees flourish in the land of the free-why anyone who resists oppression would be driven to tell his beloved homeland, Adios.
