Summary
La Edad De Oro, or 'The Golden Age', was a book written by
famous Cuban poet José Martí. During his long life in New York, and in the
process of preparing a revolution to free Cuba from the abuses suffered by the
Spanish Empire, Martí never forgot about the "hope of the world." He managed,
with a remarkable effort, to publish his work of literature for the prosperity
of America. In this book, Martí teaches the children how to be real men, who can speak clear and
wise words. Marti’s work demonstrates to the American children how people
lived before their time, and how they lived today in America and in other
countries.
Not only Marti teaches about how things are made of glass, steel, and electricity but how bridges hang in suspension. He shows the children how everything is done in the workshops. He explains that these things are more interesting and creative than what you know about magical tales. Martí's story educates the children’s hope in the world, in becoming better men later in their lives; hence, the future is in their hands.
