Escaping from the topic which states that the best biography of a myth is the legend, in these pages we focus on Fidel Castro´s first years of life in which he was closer and unknown: the child, the young boy, the brother and the son. With the penetrating and unique fragance of the cedars which surrounded the commandant´s childhood, the book collects a familiar landscape full of lacks, devotions and stories with a surprising descriptive magic. It is a narration which goes from the narration of his first years of life to the deepest reflection about the trascendency of the home and the privacy at the hour of interpreting the most unimaginable future historical events.
