Las Cartas desde Cuba son obra de la escritora sueca Fredrika Bremer. Fueron dirigidas a su hermana menor ghate, tristemente fallecida de tuberculosis antes que Fredrika regresara a Estocolmo. Fredrika lleg a La Habana el 31 de enero de 1851 y de inmediato escribi la primera carta. En ellas retrata, en forma de diario, sus viajes por la isla de Cuba, toma apuntes sobre la vegetaci n, hace consideraciones sobre la vida de los cubanos y la arquitectura cubana. En definitiva, todo lo que ve, experimenta y conoce de este rinc n de las Antillas se traduce en una prosa inteligente, sincera y arriesgada.Se cree que Fredrika Bremer fue la primera que escribi sobre la m sica gospel y las canciones de los esclavos que hab a escuchado a lo largo de este viaje. Sus Cartas desde Cuba contienen, adem s, todo tipo de cr ticas a las terribles condiciones que sufr an los esclavos en la isla de Cuba: La situaci n de los esclavos en las plantaciones es aqu , generalmente, peor que en los Estados Unidos; viven peor, se alimentan peor, trabajan m s duramente y carecen de toda ense anza religiosa. Se les considera totalmente como ganado, y el comercio de esclavos con frica se practica todav a, aunque en secreto.

Often referred to as Sweden's Charlotte Bronte, Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) was widely translated during her lifetime and became internationally acclaimed as the author of an impressive series of novels and travel books. The Colonel's Family first appeared in two parts in 1830-31 as part of a series which she called Sketches from Daily Life - a title which at an early stage declared her lifelong preoccupation with the details of her domestic day. What was less immediately apparent to her contemporaries was her courage in abandoning the prevailing conventions of insipid romantic fiction in order to explore more profound social and moral problems. Her novel is now recognised as a sensitive exploration of the problems of a frustrated, silenced woman, a creature of strong repressed passions, in an era of highly constrictive marital conventions. The striking narrative style is a combination of the picaresque, the sentimental, the realistic, the comic and even the farcical. This translation of a classic of Swedish literature preserves the freshness and idiosyncratic flavour of the original. Sarah Death has over thirty years' experience as a translator from Swedish and has won the George Bernard Shaw Prize three times. In 2014 she was awarded the Royal Order of the Polar Star for services to Swedish literature. She has translated books in a wide variety of genres including children's stories, crime fiction, literary criticism, novels by Nobel laureate Selma Lagerloef and the work of many contemporary writers. She lives and works in Kent.

Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865) är en av Sveriges internationellt mest välkända författare och kulturpersonligheter. Hon var också en av sin tids främsta förespråkare för kvinnors rättigheter och hennes arbete fick en avgörande betydelse för Sveriges politiska utveckling. Konsekvent tog Bremer ställning för ett friare och mer liberalt samhälle. Hon skildrade samhällsutmaningarna med utgångspunkt i hemmen, men förde konsekvenserna av analysen in på andra områden, som frågan om kvinnors fulla myndighet, rätt att delta i alla delar av samhällslivet och även rösta i allmänna val. Med Fredrik Bööks ord kom hon att personifiera den svenska liberalismens höjdlinje . Hennes inflytande sträckte sig långt utanför Sveriges gränser. Fredrika Bremer reste mycket och togs emot som en celebritet i de länder hon besökte. Kännedomen om Bremer och hennes verk är dock begränsad. Texterna i den här samlingen påminner om att hon har en given roll bland Sveriges liberala profiler och förtjänar sin position som en svensk ikon för jämställdhet. Med inledning av Björn Hasselgren och förord av Deirdre McCloskey.
