Summary "Le Tour du Monde; Cuba" by Richard Dana is a geographical and travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. This work is derived from a collection of articles published in a travel journal, aimed at offering readers glimpses into various world regions, with this particular section focusing on Cuba. Dana shares his experiences and observations during his travels, illustrating the culture, geography, and socio-economic conditions of the island. The opening of this travel account sets the scene with Dana's departure from New York, where he describes the voyage to Cuba, including atmospheric reflections on the sea and the dramatic entrance to Havana via its harbor. He captures the essence of the city with vivid descriptions of its streets and unique modes of transport, such as the "volante". As he explores Havana, Dana highlights the vibrant atmosphere of the city through its architecture, gardens, and the mix of cultures, while also touching upon the complexities of Cuban society, particularly the presence of slavery and the role of coolies. This rich introduction serves as a fascinating multicultural and socio-political backdrop against which Dana unfolds his journey within the broader narrative of Cuba.
