Abstract

The work presented below aims to illustrate the editing process of Camilo José Cela's poetry collection Pisando la dudosa luz del día in 1945, as well as the fourth edition of La familia de Pascual Duarte in 1946. The novelty of this study lies in the perspective from which it is undertaken: the epistolary relationship with the editor who was to be responsible for both editions. This editor was Carlos Fernando Maristany, who, along with Ramón Julià, edited Ediciones del Zodíaco, a small Barcelona publishing house that in the 1940s sought to establish a stable and prominent position in the competitive publishing world of the time. The editor's refined and elegant personal style, characteristic of his work, proved suitable and timely for the literary interests of a young Camilo José Cela, who was also looking for a publisher to bring together his increasingly numerous literary works.
