Abstract

The written Work of Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) includes novels, poetry, dramaturgy, journalistic texts, and, fundamentally, stories, and was published first and foremost in the various illustrated magazines of the early twentieth century where the Uruguayan author collaborated. Only a part was collected in books by Quiroga himself. Since 1955 an accurate list of all his collaborations has been made and, also, a large part of his work has been published in various anthologies and in different complete works projects. Our research adds to this repertoire some bibliographic findings: the existence of two short stories, not belonging to any bibliographic list or to any compilation of their narrative writings; “Una carta de amor” and “La cacería”; the appearance of his first journalistic film “note”, “El Teatro Mudo: elogio del cinematógrafo”, which is not part of any list or of the compilations of Quiroga's cinematographic texts; and, finally, the existence of the editio princeps of Cuentos de la Selva, one of his best known books. The three texts found, which are from 1917, as well as the illustrated editio princeps of Cuentos de la Selva from 1918 must be included in Horacio Quiroga's bibliographic repertoire and must form part of the new editions of his complete work.
