José Martí follows the life of the dynamic Cuban poet, journalist, and patriot. Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1853, Martí wasted little time in establishing himself as one of Latin America's most eloquent and politically charged writers.

Although he was killed in 1895 at the beginning of the final Cuban insurrection against Spain, his amazing story lives on to inspire today's readers.
