Diez cartas inéditas de María Zambrano

Abstract

The unpublished letters that María Zambrano addressed to Alfredo Castellón between 1956 and 1962 are presented and transcribed. After having met in Rome, where Zambrano was in exile and where a young Castellón had gone to study cinematography, a great friendship was established between the two and a deep personal tuning that would remain until the end of their lives. These letters bear faithful witness to this, and are not only of biographical value, but also of historical and philosophical value, since in them the thinker María Zambrano expresses her concerns about the situation of Spanish youth, and her interest in the theme of dreams and time, on which her reflection in those years was centred. This edition of the letters is completed with explanatory notes that clarify the references made in them.
