1957réf. 534842Guadalajara México: Et Cætera 1957. Softcover. Very Good. Offprint. Translated by Miguel Rodríguez Puga misspelled "Juga". Small slim quarto. 99-108pp. Stapled printed wrappers. Text in Spanish. Wrappers with tiny chips at the bottom corners and a couple of very short splits staples lightly oxidized and paper evenly toned a very good example of a relatively delicate pamphlet. From the library of noted Spanish philologist librarian and linguist Tomás Navarro Tomás with a six-line note on the first page some bracketing and underlining in the text and 27 lines in Spanish at the end all in red ink. While the practice of combining the words "magic" and "realism" had been around since the 1920s - with entire books having been written on the subject - this is the paper that popularized the term "magical realism" for the genre of Latin American fiction as we know it today. Flores who found the movement's genesis in Borges' publication of A Universal History of Infamy in 1935 first presented this paper at the Spanish 4 Group Meeting of the 69th Annual Meeting of the MLA in New York December 27-29 1954. It was published in English in the journal Hispania in May 1955 Vol. 38 No. 2. This offprint is from its Spanish-language publication in the important Guadalajara literary magazine Et Cætera Nos. 23-25 July 1957 - March 1958. This is quite likely the offprint of its first Spanish-language publication; information appears to be slight but we do find it cited next to the English-language edition in a footnote of Luis Leal's classic 1967 essay on the subject "Magical Realism in Spanish American Literature" accessed online via an English anthology published by Duke. A rare and early offprint of a pivotal essay on Latin American literature with annotations by a noted Spanish philologist and linguist. OCLC locates no copies of this Mexican offprint nor does it locate any copies of an offprint in English if one was even published. Et Cætera unknown books
