This library incorporates corrections or revisions to previously published works and also includes commentaries and explanatory notes on figures and events mentioned by Martí in his extensive body of work, speeches, letters, and journalistic pieces. It also includes name, geographical, and subject indexes, which are very useful for researchers and professors.
