Zusammenfassung

Waldo Frank and José Ortega y Gasset met in Madrid in early 1924, during a stay of several months of American to Spain. Between 1922 and 1923, the two writers had already established an epistolary correspondence, that would be extended in time, and had begun to be forge a personal and professional relationship. In fact, a significant part of the work of Frank was published in its Spanish version, in the editorial of Revista de Occidente. This work collects the correspondence between Frank and Ortega and the "Revista", from 1922 until 1930: sixteen documents that show the close bond between two intellectuals and the strong impact of Spanish culture had on the American, a starting point for the strong ties he later developed with Latin America. This correspondence demonstrates the important intellectual role of Ortega and Frank in the cultural networks between the Old ant the New Continent.
