(1994, date given in Andar sobre la Luz; Ediciones Vigía bibliography) Design and illustrations by Rolando Estévez. This edition was published during the Cuban 'periodo especial', after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when their support for the Cuban Revolution dried up, and all goods became scarce on the island. Here the lack of materials is amply compensated by the almost obsessive amount of work and detail that has been invested in the production of the book. In the words of a Cuban bookdealer: "Y para un cubano, lo que mas impresiona es el año....1994...de unas escaseces superiores a los momentos mas duros de la guerra en Inglaterra, o la guerra civil o el franquismo...en el corazón del 'Periodo Especial'...lo que sobrecoge aun mas...es algo increíble que en los momentos mas terribles aparezcan las obras mas hermosas..."
