SUMMARY
In the colloquial Spanish of Puerto Rico's hill country, una charca is a stagnant pond, a body of brackish water. Puerto Rico's Spanish colonial society, says Zeno-Gandia, was an immense charca of human beings, oppressed by poverty, ignorance and disease. His bitter melodrama offers stark contrasts; the beautiful Puerto Rican countryside, a veritable Garden of Eden; yet within that "regal panorama" starve, diseased human beings clung desperately to life.Manuel Zeno-Gandia is the author of 'The Pond: Puerto Rico's 19th-Century Masterpiece' with ISBN 9781558760929 and ISBN 155876092X.
