Ediciones de la Flor

Ediciones de la Flor is an Argentinian publisher, founded in 1966 by Daniel Divinsky and Ana Maria Kuki Miler. It is one of the few still independent publishers of that country.[1] It is known for publishing works of comic book authors, such as Roberto Fontanarrosa, Quino, Caloi and Liniers, in addition to publishing literary authors such as Rodolfo Walsh, Silvina Ocampo and Umberto Eco.

History

The publisher began when the lawyer Divinsky and his legal partner Tito Finkelberg joined with the editor Jorge Álvarez to open a bookshop. Not having the necessary capital for the company, Álvarez suggested to use the money (300 dollars) to instead buy book publishing rights.[2]

In 1967 de la Flor published its first book, the anthology Buenos Aires, de la fundación a la angustia (Buenos Aires from the foundation to the anxiety), including short stories by Julio Cortázar, Rodolfo Walsh and David Viñas. In 1970, Kuki joined the publishing house. That year is published the first book of Quino's Mafalda

Between 1977 and 1983, during the Argentinian military dictatorship, Divinsky and Kuki went into exile in Venezuela, for having published Cinco Dedos (Five fingers), a children's book considered "subversive" by the government.

gollark: To be vaguely beeish, you could make it count all the characters in string 1, subtract 1 every time the corresponding one is encountered in string 2, and check if it's 0 at the end.
gollark: I prefer mine, because it doesn't repeat itself.
