Synopsis "Havana Babylonia: or Prostitutes in Cuba "

This is the biggest underground bestseller in the history of Cuban literature. Even when it had not yet been published, thousands of bootleg copies circulated under the table in Cuba, converting it into a true headache for the Cuban political authorities, who then and still today continue to stubbornly deny the alarming development of prostitution on the island. Later, after being published by Planeta, the book also became an international bestseller, with editions in numerous languages. Considered by international criticism as a classic of its genre, in 2007 it won the Rodolfo Walsh International Award for the best nonfiction book published in the Spanish-speaking world. Now we have the latest, definitive version, translated into English by the journalist and writer, Regina Anavy.
