Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
This collection includes three preliminary versions of La Habana. The first version was started in 1976 and finished on January 30, 1979. Please note that this version apparently combines two as the page numeration suggests. The page numbers cited are those of the version that predominate within the first version, running from page 1 to 587 with gaps between pages 293 and 300, and pages 375 and 428. All chapter titles are the same as in the final version except for the epilogue which in the first version is titled "Facilis Desconsus Avemani" instead of "Función Continua."
In versions two and three, as well as in the first one, the page numeration used is the one given by the author for that particular version. All three versions have been divided in the folders by chapter. When the chapter is too big, it has been divided and the title cited represents the first words on the page. In version three, where chapters sometimes start in the middle of the page, both the first words of the page and the name of the chapter are cited.
