Abstract

This second stage of the epistolary of José Ortega y Gasset and María de Maeztu takes place mainly be- tween 1937 and 1938. It is the stage of the beginning of the exile of both protagonists, who have fled from Madrid at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War due to the risk that their lives ran. María de Maeztu is in Argentina and the content of the letters focuses on the first-hand information provided by María de Maeztu to Ortega on the situation of the philoso- pher’s conflict with the Argentinian newspaper La Nación, of which he was a regular collaborator, and the evolution of the publishing house Espasa-Calpe Argentina, in the context of the change that was ta- king place in the country, regarding the Spanish exile. We find in these letters the most human and personal side of Ortega in the face of the complex situation that both of them are going through.
