Cuadernos

''Cuadernos'' ( Spanish: ''Notebooks'') was a Spanish-language magazine that was published in Paris, France, in the period 1953–1965. Its full title was ''Cuadernos del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura''. It was one of the publications of the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

History and profile

''Cuadernos'' was launched by the Congress for Cultural Freedom in 1953 which targeted Spanish people and Latin Americans. The first issue appeared in June 1954. The editor of the magazine was a Spaniard politician, Julián Gorkin. During his editorship another Spaniard politician Ignacio Iglesias also edited the magazine which was published on a quarterly basis. Gorkin was replaced by a Spaniard exile in Paris, Luis Araquistáin, as editor of the magazine in late 1950s. However, due to the death of Araquistáin a Colombian diplomat Germán Arciniegas was named as the editor of the magazine.

The content of ''Cuadernos'' included Hispanic poems, articles on anti-Soviet propaganda and political and cultural news from the European and Latin American countries. In 1961 the frequency of the magazine was switched to monthly. The magazine was closed by the Congress in 1965 due to its low popularity and its lower levels of circulation although it targeted Hispanic people in Spain and Latin America. The magazine never enjoyed high levels of circulation like '' Encounter'' or ''Der Monat'', other magazines of the Congress. The last issue, the 100th issue, of ''Cuadernos'' was published in September 1965. ''Mundo Nuevo'', another Spanish language magazine, succeeded ''Cuadernos''.
