"We are accustomed to big surprises from our friend and frequent visitor to Havana, Hermes Mallea... But, this time, Hermes has broken his own record. Once I opened
Great Houses of Havana I discovered a time that I thought had vanished forever. Mallea - with his uncontrollable talent for choosing the perfect picture - has given us a snapshot of the social time. He moves with ease in the most representative expressions of a society and the architecture of each period over a century. The author shows us another facet of the rich history of Havana, which allowed it to be recognized internationally as the most cosmopolitan city in the Caribbean. This book is a gem for its context and presentation, a rare jewel of Cuban special sensitivity. It is a portrait of Cuban society at all times, transmitted to the architecture all the nuances that characterized it." - Architect Dr. Daniel M. Taboada Espiniella, Havana, April 11, 2012, at the presentation of
Great Houses of Havana at Cuba's National Art Gallery, the Museo de Bellas Artes
"Hermes Mallea's presentation on
The Great Houses of Havana is meticulously researched and filled with stunning photographs. Mr. Mallea's vast knowledge of the subject coupled with his easy and accessible style of delivering the information makes for an engaging and thoughtful event. Our audience so enjoyed the talk that we asked Hermes to return for another just a few months later." − Debi Germann, Director of Education, LANDMARK WEST!
"Hermes Mallea December 5, 2012 "Houses of Havana" was one of the most popular lectures that we have ever had. An engaging speaker, the talk was beautifully organized and illustrated. His book sold out and we are eager to have him return with the next book." − Maggie Lidz, Estate Historian, Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.
"Hermes Mallea's presentation at Johns Hopkins University's Evergreen was nothing less than a stellar program in the museum's celebrated annual series on architecture and design. The passion of the author and speaker engaged each and every attendee, and succeeded in coherently introducing the subject of the great and wonderful houses of Havana to same. Mr. Mallea's brilliant interweaving of social, political, and architectural histories made for the perfect evening - and a memorable tutorial on the Cuban architectural treasury!" − James Abbott, Director, The Johns Hopkins University's Evergreen Museum & Library
