by Uwe Blesching (Author)

Uwe Blesching has distilled the spectacular art in his film "Cuba on Fire" in a book to grace any coffee table: "Cuba's Carnival - Origins of the Biggest party On Earth." The book explores the why in what compels millions of people from all around the world to party in the streets, today and all throughout recorded history. With Cuba as a visual guide, Blesching explores a hitherto unknown pattern common to all the carnivals of the world. As the story unfolds the vibrant photographs, image compilations and text invite the reader to explore ancient legend, long forgotten beginnings, and discoveries of mankind's origins. Insights gleaned from the carnival archetype unveil fascinating possibilities of human powers, talents and potentials yet to be fully realized. Here the secrets of carnival bring a potentially private exploration of the richness of the human psyche.
