González Obregón, Luis. El Pensador Mexicano: Diálogos sobre cosas de su tiempo, sacados del olvido. México: Cultura, 1918. First edition. T. VI, Num. 6. Illustrated cover by Valerio Prieto. 8vo, Original printed wrappers with an elaborate red-ink architectural design featuring an illustration of Mexico City’s Metropolitan Cathedral. A rare issue of El Pensador Mexicano, a publication named after the pseudonym of José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi, the early 19th-century Mexican journalist and novelist known for his social critiques. Luis González Obregón, an esteemed historian and chronicler, revives the tradition of El Pensador Mexicano in this volume, engaging in dialogues that explore historical and contemporary Mexican society. His work is a reflection on national identity, political evolution, and cultural heritage, written during the turbulent post-revolutionary period. Covers show heavy wear, with chipping to edges, significant loss to upper right and lower margins, and creasing along the spine. Interior pages browned but intact, with some foxing and minor corner wear. Overall good condition. A scarce piece of Mexican literary and historical discourse, capturing the intellectual climate of post-revolutionary Mexico.
