Through a style of transparent prose, the author attempts to identify the American visionary who is deprived of using sugar beet due to the First World War. His mother advises him to travel to Cuba to use cane sugar for his chocolate candy business in his factory in Pennsylvania, United States. Hershey finds obstacles to invest in the beautiful island, until in an arid or abandoned land, near Santa Cruz del Norte, the chocolate mogul undertakes a great community project with which he will win a part of the heart of the Cuban people. During the course of the novel will recognize a MS that helped some and harmed others. Its dark side and its merciful side in which the Cuban historian Alice Guerrera -fictional character- tries to rescue the legacy of that American visionary as well as to restore the properties of the famous Mennonite. The historian girl was born in that sugar village, the "model town" of Hershey, and graduated with a Diploma Work, or Thesis of Degree, in whose title, The Taste of the Paradise, exposes the ways to establish a museum of what subsisted of Central Hershey. The same project will present it in a National Patrimony office only for tourism purposes after its restoration. But many more obstacles will have to overcome the young and insightful historian. She will fight without quarter and without resources. "No one can be judged by his past," is the phrase with which that historian will use his tongue and his claws against the cover and apathy, corruption and conformism, to put it another way. A trade union delegate, familiar of one of the rail strikers of the 1920s in Havana, will be a great opponent of Alice Guerrera. But she will continue to dig in increasingly compromising positions for tourism and the environment that will be key words for a war of words and ideas, partly liberal and partly conservative ideas.
