FAREWELL AT LAST
1
2
Rafael is among the many young Cubans who respond to their crimped [restringidos, obstruídos] prospects not by agitating against the system but by plotting to escape it. He does not oppose Cuba’s communist regime, nor does he take much interest in it. So he is unexcited by a power shift that will make headlines around the world. On April 19th Raúl Castro plans to step down as president, bringing to an end nearly 60 years of rule by the family that led the country’s revolution. Rafael thinks it is time for Mr Castro to go. But “it doesn’t matter to me.”
3
It will matter to most of Cuba’s 11 million people, who have no easy way off the island. In a country where transfers of power are rare, the one that will soon occur [on April 19th 2018] is momentous. Mr Castro, who is 86, is expected to hand power to the “first” vice-president, Miguel Díaz-Canel. He had not been born when Raúl’s brother, Fidel Castro, toppled the American-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959. The post-revolutionary generation will bring a change in style and raise Cubans’ expectations of their government. It is unclear whether the new leaders will meet them.
4
Mr Díaz-Canel, an engineer by training, has acquired a reputation for modesty during his quiet three-decade ascent through government and the Communist Party. As a leader in his home province of Villa Clara, in central Cuba, he rode around on a bicycle rather than in an official car. At the (oneparty) parliamentary elections last month, he queued up with other voters and chatted to the press (Mr Castro zipped in and out of his polling station).
5
Mr Díaz-Canel has sometimes seemed more liberal than other party officials. He backed gay rights before it was fashionable. In 2013 he calmed a furore caused by the censorship of some student bloggers who were critical of the government. He met the students in front of the press and said that in the internet age “banning something is almost a delusion.”
6
His elevation to the presidency will be part of a broader generational change. Several octogenarian conservatives, such as José Ramón Machado Ventura and Ramiro Valdés, will probably leave the council of state, a body with lawmaking powers. Mr Díaz-Canel is expected to replace government ministers with his own people.
7
But substantive change, if it happens, will not be abrupt. Although la generación histórica will no longer run the government day to day, it will still be influential. Until 2021 Mr Castro is expected to remain head of the Politburo, which controls the Communist Party and thus the overall direction of policy. Mr Ventura will remain second-in-command. Mr Díaz-Canel will be only the third most powerful member.
8
He may not be the reformer some Cubans are hoping for.

➧ TEXTO II:
ISLAND OF THE BLUE FOXES
1
2
No roads spanned [estendiam-se sobre] the thousands of miles to Russia’s coastal frontier on the Kamchatka peninsula at the time, and, even in the few Siberian settlements under control of central government, there was little infrastructure other than that sustaining local fur trapping and forestry. Bering’s entourage, accordingly, needed to bring along mammoth loads of supplies if it were to carry out the threefold tasks of conducting scientific studies, constructing vessels for venturing into the Pacific, and simply surviving and avoiding hunger. Timber would be plentiful on site, but not iron, sailcloth, medical supplies, books, scientific instruments, and a host [grande número] of other raw materials and finished goods.
3
The expedition party, numbering in the thousands, included drovers [boiadeiros, vaqueiros], sailors, soldiers, shipwrights [construtores navais], coopers [tanoeiros], blacksmiths [ferreiros], carpenters, secretaries, surveyors [agrimensores], and physicians – a sizeable sample of the skilled and unskilled work force of “civilized” Russia.
4
Drawing on journals, logs, and official reports, Bown presents a moving account of how the great Kamchatka – North Pacific expediton became a tenyear odyssey of hardship and conflict. Physical rigors were expected, but equally significant were social dramas playing out along the way. Siberian officials, overwhelmed by the sudden – and sometimes unannounced – arrival of imperious strangers, were reluctant to provide necessary services. Further delays arose from Bering’s cautious regard for carrying out every step of his mandate and getting everything in line before proceeding to the next step, a habit not always well received by younger and more adventurous officers under his command.
5
Not until June 1742 did newly built ships depart from Kamchatka on a voyage that was to secure Bering’s posthumous reputation and provide a basis for Russia’s colonization of Alaska. The key figure in this climactic episode is Georg Steller, who served as a naturalist and physician aboard Bering’s ship. Steller’s arrogance made him the target of scorn [desprezo] by most of the crew, but his notes on the appearance and behaviour of novel species of North American wildlife have earned him a lasting place in the history and nomenclature of biology – a few months ago, I spent an evening watching a group of Steller’s sea lions asleep on the shore of the Columbia River.
6
The villain of the story – as in so many expeditions of this era – is the vitamin-C deficiency known as scurvy [escorbuto]. Near the end of the book, marooned [ilhados, abandonados] on a fox-infested island that today bears [ostenta] Bering’s name, sailors die, one after another, from this malady that nowadays can be avoided with a daily vitamin-C enriched cough drop. Here Steller emerges as the ultimate hero of the expedition, nursing crew members back to health with local herbs [ervas]. Thanks to Steller, 46 of his 76 shipmates, along with Steller, survived to tell their tales, now retold so well in Stephen Bown’s fine addition to the literature of Artic exploration.

(B) Tsar Peter the Great and Empress Anna made a point of choosing a Dane to command the expedition because they wanted someone with both naval and scientific experience.

(C) At the time of the expedition, Russia did not possess the infrastructure and technology to build ships capable of sailing to the Kamchatka peninsula.

(D) it is fair to say that, in their own way, problems caused by people had as strong an impact on the expedition as did problems caused by nature.
