Los mundos que amo is a science fiction story with autobiographical elements.
The first edition consisted of five short stories combining a futuristic world and technology with the most distant past and its primitive societies. The last tale in the collection - bearing the same title as the book itself - was adapted into a photonovel that sold 200,000 copies. Later the author turned this tale into a novella.
In this work a female student witnesses several UFO sightings over Havana and decides to communicate with their occupants in a most unusual manner. The result of her bold actions profoundly changes her life. The plot spans several locales, from modern-day Havana to the pre-Celtic stone monuments of Neolithic Europe, passing over the Nazca plains and the ruins of Tiahuanaco in South America.
The book won the David Prize for Science Fiction in 1979 (Havana, Cuba). It has been included in study programs for Spanish in primary and secondary schools in the United States.
