Their images are filled with the life, vitality and passion that is Havana. They tell a story of this magnificent place in the alleys and the plazas, on the facades and in the faces of the living. Cooper and Marti have captured the soul of this truly beautiful place."--Robert Hicks, author of The Widow of the South and A Separate Country, "The photographs are full of love for the Cubans and give us the dignity that really fills us with pride."--Julio Larramendi, photographer and author from Havana, Cuba, "Even if you've been to the old city of Havana, you haven't really seen it fully, or understood it fully, until you've seen this timeless and timely portrait of one of the most fascinating and romantic places in the world. Cooper and Mart, united in and inspired by their admiration for the great American photographer Walker Evans, are wonderfully complementary masters of their art. Their photographs--vibrant, respectful, witty, and sometimes truly epic in their vision, along with the accompanying texts--create a kind of imagistic dialogue. The result is a moving panorama of past and present, generality and specificity, the stillness of stone and the drama of the sea, the vividness of the human presence and present in a place saturated by the past."--Daniel Menaker, author of Friends and Relations: A Collection of Stories , The Old Left: Stories , and The Treatment , and coauthor of The Worst, "Chip Cooper and Nestor Marti's Havana: Spirit of the Living City / La Habana: El espíritu de la ciudad vivaa is a gift to all of us.
