Cuban costumbristas of the nineteenth century, work in two volumes with selection and prologue of Salvador Bueno, published by the Editorial Letras Cubanas, will be presented by the researcher Cira Romero, on November 27, at four in the afternoon, at the Fayad Jamís Bookstore , of this capital.
In this work are grouped texts of about twenty Cuban authors -among them Gaspar Betancourt Cisneros, José María Cárdenas and Rodríguez and Cirilo Villaverde-, representatives of Costumbrismo, a literary movement developed in Latin America in the 19th century.
"Thanks to a language that has already been removed from Imperial Spanish," Cira Romero states in the note accompanying this selection, "the writers now assembled embody the 19th century Cuban society through the representation of types and customs that show the difficult path of transitioning between the colonial obsolete and the project of nation that since then was trying to forge ».
 Researcher, essayist, university professor, Salvador Bueno -who was born in Havana, in 1917, and died, in this same city, in 2006- directed the Cuban Academy of the Language and received, among other recognitions, the National Prize of Social Sciences for the work of life.
Salvador Bueno is the author of an extensive research work on Cuban and Latin American literature, as well as an extensive journalistic production published inside and outside the island.
