[Marxism] Previously unpublished manuscript by Ernesto Che Guevara

["David/Ocean Press" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT BY ERNESTO CHE GUEVARA

LAUNCHED AT HAVANA BOOK FAIR BY RICARDO ALARCON, PRESIDENT OF CUBAN
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

PUBLISHED BY OCEAN PRESS

A previously unpublished manuscript by Ernesto Che Guevara was launched
at the Havana Book Fair in early February 2006.

The Spanish-language edition of the Ocean Press book -- "Apuntes
Criticos a la Economia Politica" ("Critical Notes on Political
Economy") -- was launched by Ricardo Alarcon, President of Cuba's
National Assembly. The book was published by Ocean Press in association
with the Che Guevara Studies Center of Havana, Cuba.

Taking part in the Havana launch were Alarcon, Aleida March, director of
the Che Guevara Studies Center, Eusebio Leal, Historian of Havana, Maria
del Carmen Ariet, research coordinator of the Che Guevara Studies
Center, and David Deutschmann, president of Ocean Press.

This is the first publication in any language of Che Guevara's
controversial and critical analysis of the Soviet economic model. As
minister for industry and head of Cuba's National Bank, Che Guevara
prepared this manuscript -- which he was unable to finish before leaving
for Bolivia in late 1966 -- to compare the Cuban experience with that of
the Soviet bloc.

Included in the new book is an unpublished biographical essay by Che
Guevara on Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. The book also contains
extensive appendices of Che Guevara's interventions in the monthly
meetings of the leadership of the Cuban Ministry of Industry.

The English edition of the book will be released in late 2006.

A companion volume to "Apuntes Criticos a la Economia Politica" is "Gran
Debate: La Economia en Cuba, 1963-64" ("The 'Great Debate' on Political
Economy") also just published by Ocean Press. The English edition of
"Great Debate" will be published by Ocean Press in late 2006.

In late 2007, Ocean Press will publish -- in association with the Che
Guevara Studies Center of Havana -- another unpublished manuscript of
Che Guevara, on Marxist philosophy.
