Basta, ya es hora de despertar. En este libro quedaran plasmados sentimientos y emociones. No lo considero un libro común, todo lo que está en él son experiencias que me han servido para darme cuenta de que el mundo en el que vivimos se esconde una gran verdad que es desapercibida y me surge esta pregunta ¿Cuánto puedes tolerar?

El Gran Silencio es individual, lo siento en mí con tal intensidad que poco importa si me creen o no. Hace tiempo que ya pasé la fase de la aprobación. Aunque sería bueno saber que soy comprendido, no tengo ninguna expectativa en ese sentido. Simplemente he tratado aquí de expresar una vez más lo inexpresable, de dar testimonio de lo que Yo Soy. Al entrar en el Gran Silencio he capitulado. He dejado de creer que la humanidad podía en su conjunto despertarse a la consciencia. No obstante, creo firmemente que algunos individuos lo pueden lograr ya que es su deseo más preciado. Es para ellos que escribo esta obra, es hacia ellos que dedico mi obra. Me gustaría recordarles que es el deber de cada uno el liberarse a sí mismos incluso antes de tratar de hacerlo para los demás.

An evocative and unforgettable memoir from award-winning journalist Carlos Frías about his journey to Cuba where he retraces his family's history and encounters the realities of Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Carlos Frías, an award-winning journalist and the American-born son of Cuban exiles, grew up hearing about his parents' homeland only in parables. Their Cuba, the one they left behind four decades ago, was ethereal. It existed, for him, only in their anecdotes, and in the family that remained in Cuba—merely ghosts on the other end of a telephone. Until Fidel Castro fell ill. Sent to Cuba by his newspaper as the country began closing to foreign journalists in August 2006, Frías begins the secret journey of a lifetime—twelve days in the land of his parents. That experience led to this evocative, spectacular, and unforgettable memoir. Take Me With You is written through the unique eyes of a first-generation Cuban-American seeing the forbidden country of his ancestry for the first time. Frías provides a fresh view of Cuba, devoid of overt political commentary, focusing instead on the gritty, tangible lives of the people living in Castro's Cuba. Frías takes in the island nation of today and attempts to reconstruct what the past was like for his parents, retracing their footsteps, searching for his roots, and discovering his history. The story creates lasting and unexpected ripples within his family on both sides of the Florida Straits—and on the author himself.
