Yet in this day have not returned empty handed, having obtained a copy of which I had heard years ago and I could find to date. is not new in itself, but looks very ineresante for l @ s @ s studies of our lyrics (which I modestly story.) Come and dig into our cultural roots ... In literature it is always good to get back to the 'origins':

[Extract from foreword]

Twenty years ago, José Lezama Lima and Virgilio Piñera names were almost unknown in Cuba, his works were little read and copies of his books is obtained only thanks to some friends in bookstores. The two had died reciemente. Fina García Marruz and Eliseo Diego were well appreciated as poets, maybe even too much appreciated.

And finally, for our readers had little curious what would have been de Justo Rodriguez Santos or Angel Gaztelu. Stumbling

the group's work "Origins" was not as inevitable as it is done now. The two largest writers this group suffered censorship, censored encotraba also another no origins and the cultural administration imposed its literary figures. There was the second son and the false, the literature was total obedience to the policy.

Dar with 'Origins' was then recover the real literature, as a reader exercise freedom, spitting on the edicts intended to regulate the arts. Then these edicts trerían the surprising news that the work of the pursued, the work of Lezama Lima and Piñera, and the whole group 'Origins' belonged to the best of our heritage ...
