Sumario:During the first decades of the twentieth century a publishing phenomenon, targeted to a newly literate audience, was developed in the River Plate area. This publishing events were the result of new technologies that allowed, on the one hand, to reduce costs and multiply rolls and, on the other, to combine images that accompanied and questioned the texts. The rise of such new editorial products went hand in hand with a new kind of editor, issued from immigrant families. Within these new social actors, we find Samuel Glusberg, a Jewish immigrants’ son who, between 1919 and 1922, undertook a challenging publishing project: Ediciones selectas América. Cuadernos mensuales de letras y ciencias.  Glusberg published 50 booklets in this collection, intended to disseminate literary products among popular sectors. The study of his project allows us to elucidate how Latin American literary construction process evolved and to understand how its reception grew thanks to highly communicated networks between the upper and popular cultural circuits.
