    • Abstract:
      1915 is considered a decisive year in world history. Underneath wartime plundering, eighteenth-century beliefs in social progress and human civilization collapsed, and other political and philosophical credos sprouted, while aesthetic avant-gardes created new forms of artistic and literary expression. That same year, from his exile in Madrid, Martín Luis Guzmán would define the coordinates that would guide his life, while trying to assimilate his recent experiences during the Mexican Revolution and make way as a writer, under the immediate protection of Alfonso Reyes and the far-away but determining one of Pedro Henríquez Ureña. Without abandoning his political vocation and remaining open to new trends, Guzmán drew up his own path, which would lead him alongside his mentors and to the forefront of literature in Spanish [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      1915 es considerado un año decisivo en la historia universal. Bajo los espolios de la guerra, se derrumbaron los fundamentos de origen dieciochesco en torno del progreso social y la civilización humana y se produjeron otros credos políticos y filosóficos, al tiempo que las vanguardias estéticas creaban nuevas formas de expresión plástica y literaria. Ese año, Martín Luis Guzmán, exiliado en Madrid, definió las coordenadas que orientarían su vida, mientras intentaba asimilar sus vivencias recientes en la revolución mexicana y abrirse paso como escritor bajo la custodia inmediata de Alfonso Reyes y la lejana, pero determinante, de Pedro Henríquez Ureña. Sin abandonar su vocación política, y manteniendo una actitud abierta hacia las nuevas vertientes, Guzmán creó una ruta propia que lo situaría a la par de sus mentores y en la avanzada de la creación literaria en español.
