Abstract

The Mexican writer Alfonso Reyes (1889-1959) was a witness of the Mexican Revolution and the First World War. After the murder of his father in one of the cruelest episodes of the Mexican Revolution, The Tragic Ten Days («La Decena Trágica», February 9 and February 19, 1913), Reyes spent one year in Paris as a second class diplomat. Then Reyes sought asylum in Spain in September 1914, since France was invaded by Germany, and he could not back to Mexico as Victoriano Huerta’s regime had been overthrown. Reyes spent ten years in Madrid, where he contributed to the development of literary essay. This article studies the extent to which Reyes’s texts were written in Madrid in the context of vanguardism (cubism and futurism), specially those text included in Calendario (1924) that describe warlike episodes.
