Lunes de Revolución (23-03-1959 / 06-11-1961), suplemento literario del periódico Revolución, órgano del Movimiento 26 de Julio, recogió en sus páginas el fervor, el entusiasmo, las dificultades y los conflictos de los primeros años de la Revolución Cubana.

This volume explores the newly emergent themes and debates about Cuban society and history.
