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.

El profesor Osvaldo García-Goyco es doctor en antropología y arqueología americana de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España. Es autor de varios libros y sus ensayos han sido publicados internacionalmente.

Cuentos de los dioses taínos: como se creó el Mar Caribe es una divertida fantasía profusamente ilustrada basada en el misterioso mundo mitológico de los indios taínos de Puerto Rico y las Antillas Mayores. La trama está inspirada en la obra de Fray Ramón Pané Relación Acerca de las Antigüedades de los indios (1494-98), que formó parte del diario de Cristóbal Colón.

Las ilustraciones del cuento, por el fenecido joven pintor puertorriqueño Juan Negrón, fueron elaboradas mediante un guión visual del autor. Incluye además el autor un educativo glosario ilustrado.

I love the artwork in the book, and the fact that each page has Spanish then English translation. But, it was much shorter than I thought it would be. Just wish there was more to the story. Otherwise, a great buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful artwork, not very much content.
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019
Verified Purchase
I bought this book because I wanted to learn about Taíno lore and spirituality.

The book contains 17 pages of the actual Taino story and averages about 3 sentences per page. Overall I felt that the content provided in this book was minimal. The story itself was intriguing and fun to learn, there just wasn’t very much of the story.

The artwork in the book is amazing and fits perfectly with the Caribbean lore being told. If you buy this book you are essentially buying the unique artwork that helps tell a beautiful indigenous story.

Overall I felt the price was a bit steep for the amount of content that was actually provided. I hope more content is added to any future books.
