Octubre (Spanish: October) was a Communist literary magazine which was published in Madrid between 1933 and 1934.[1] The subtitle of the magazine was Escritores y artistas revolutionarios (Spanish: Revolutionary writers and artists).[1]

History and profile

The founders of Octubre were Rafael Alberti and his wife María Teresa León.[2][3] They started the magazine after their visit to the Soviet Union.[4] Some of the contributors included Antonio Machado, Emilio Prados and Luis Cernuda.[1][5]

Octubre was published on high-quality paper and frequently featured photographs most of which displayed scenes from Soviet life.[1] The magazine adopted a Soviet-type avant-garde literary approach[1] and had a Stalinist political stance.[6]
