Rústica. Condition: Bueno. Primera edición. REVISTA IMAN - París, N° 1, abril 1931. Todo lo publicado. Directora: Elvira de Alvear. Secretario de redacción: Alejo Carpentier. Publicación trimestral. 252 pp. Contiene la Fe de erratas. Ejemplar N° 2537 impreso sobre papel Alfa Mousse. Rústica original. Colaboraciones de León Paul Fargue, Jean Giono, Vizconde de Lascano Tegui, Xul Solar, Bruno Barilli, Vicente Huidobro, Henri Michaux, Jaime Torres Bodet, Eugenio D'Ors, Robert Desnos, Franz Kafka, Miguel Ángel Asturias, Eugene Jolas, Benjamin Fondane, Sixto Martelli, Alejo Carpentier, Hans Arp, Boris Pilniak, John Dos Passos y Arturo Uslar Pietri, Ribemont Dessaignes, George Bataille, Michel Leiris, Philippe Soupault, Walter Mehring, Alfred Kreymborg, Zdenko Reich, Roger Vitrac, Nino Frank. Buen estado general, cubiertas un tanto oscurecidas e interior con leves huellas de herrumbre como en todos los ejemplares de esta edición; contratapa con una pequeña marca. Revista de la vanguardia transatlántica hispanoamericana fundada y financiada en París por Elvira de Alvear (1907-1959) que se convirtió en el puente directo entre el surrealismo francés y la nueva narrativa latinoamericana. En su único número logró reunir en español primeras traducciones de Kafka, Bataille, Michaux y Dos Passos, con textos anticipatorios de Carpentier - fragmento de ¡Ecué-Yamba-O! -, Asturias y Uslar Pietri, que serían la base del boom latinoamericano. Dirigida desde París pero impresa íntegramente en español, se emparenta directamente con Bifur y Documents. El N° 2, ya en pruebas de imprenta a fines de 1931 con textos de Macedonio Fernández y Alberto Hidalgo, nunca llegó a publicarse por el regreso abrupto de Alvear a Buenos Aires. Por eso IMAN es colección completa en su primer número.…
