1943 · Buenos Aires
by Sur
Buenos Aires, 1943. Whole numbers 85 through 100. Sixteen issues. Small quarto. Printed wrappers. Plates. Usual tanning, a few wrappers snagged or slightly chipped, upper wrapper of #100 a bit torn, glue occasionally dried out, but generally very good. Edited by Victoria Ocampo, at various times in association with Jorge Luis Borges, Waldo Frank, Ortega y Gasset, Alfonso Reyes and others. Perhaps the most important Latin American periodical of its times. Borges was a frequent contributor - as associate editor, as reviewer, and as contributor of original fiction (as well as H. Bustos Domecq); several of his major books appeared under the SUR imprint. Significant attention was paid to contemporary writing and film, and to understanding movements, including surrealism.
