Description: El monte es sagrado porque en él residen, «viven» divinidades. Los santos están más en el monte que en el cielo. El Monte de Lydia Cabrera es una obra maestra de la etnografía, una especie de Biblia de las religiones afrocubanas. Este libro de Cabrera se convirtió en un auténtico best-sellers de este tipo de estudios, atrayendo por igual a los especialistas en la materia, a los creyentes y al público en general. Su mérito radica, según su propia autora, en que son los mismos negros de Cuba los que hicieron este libro: Ha sido mi propósito ofrecer a los especialistas, con toda modestia y la mayor fidelidad, un material que no ha pasado por el filtro peligroso de la interpretación, y de enfrentarlos con los documentos vivos que he tenido la suerte de encontrar. Linkgua edita El Monte por primera vez en digital acercándolo a todos sus admiradores y los muchos interesados en las religiones africanas y las culturas yoruba, mandinga y carabalí.
