Tales of the Taino Gods/Cuentos de Los Dioses Tainos (Multilingual Edition)

Professor Osvaldo García-Goyco holds a Ph.D. in American Anthropology and Archaeology from the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. He is the author of several books and his essays have been published internationally.

Tales of the Taíno Gods: How The Caribbean Sea Was Born, is a fully illustrated entertaining fantasy, based on the mysterious mythological world of the Taíno Indians of Puerto Rico and the Greater Antilles. The plot is inspired by the writings of Friar Ramón Pané’s An Account of the Antiquities of the Indians (1494-98), which was part of Christopher Columbus’ diary.

The illustrations of the tale were painted using a visual script by the author, who directed the skillful brush of the late young puertorrican painter Juan Negrón. The author also includes an illustrated educational glossary.
