Diez Maestros
1935
Diez Maestros. Buenos Aires: Plan Cultural de la Manufactura de Tabacos “Particular”, 1935. 18.5 cm, 185 pp.; fore-edges foxed, interior clean; wrapper foxed and stained, edges bumped, spine chipping.
Proceedings of a radio conference held simultaneously in Madrid and Buenos Aires. Commercially sponsored by a tobacco company, the list of participants included José Ortega y Gasset, Victoria Ocampo, Leopoldo Lugones, and Manuel Azaña among others. The volume contains the first published iteration of Ocampo’s dogmatic feminist literary manifesto: La mujer y su expresión. An important item for Ocampo bibliographies and a curious artifact of an industrial manufacturer’s “cultural plan” that brought together “illustrious” hispanic authors, political philosophers, scientists, and poets (many with socialist beliefs).
