Lucía Jerez o Amistad funesta es un texto de referencia en la literatura de Cuba del siglo XIX. Es la única novela que escribió Martí publicada por entregas en 1885 en el periódico El Latino Americano. En esta obra introdujo los rasgos que caracterizarían a la novela modernista. Gonzalo de Quesada, su discípulo predilecto y albacea, la encontró en unas páginas sueltas del archivo martiano. Este hallazgo hizo posible que la novela no se perdiese, pues Martí la había firmado con el seudónimo de Adelaida Ral.

Born José Julián Martí y Pérez, he was a Cuban nationalist leader and an important figure in Latin American literature. During his short life he was a poet, an essayist, a journalist, a revolutionary philosopher, a professor, and a political theorist. Through his writings and political activity, he became a symbol for Cuba's bid for independence against Spain in the 19th century, and is referred to as El Apóstol; "Apostle of Cuban Independence". He also fought against the threat of United States expansionism into Cuba.
