English term or phrase: on their head
Riferendosi a sue "recollections", uno scrittore scrive:

[...]with all their imperfections on their head, to send these pages at once into the world.

La mia proposta:

[...] con tutte le imperfezioni all'inizio, mandare queste pagine subito nel mondo.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!

da cui erano afflitte
Explanation:
Forse è meglio rigirare un pochino quel 'on their head'. Mia interpretazione: sul testo che l'autorevuole pubblicare pesano queste imperfezioni, e nonostante ciò decide comunque di farlo conoscere al resto del mondo.
