Argentine Books Now On Exhibit in Widener

Currently on exhibition in the Reading Room Hall of Widener Library are 130 modern Argentine books and periodicals, selected by R. Hayward Keniston '04 and Cyrus T. Brady, Jr. '05, representatives on cultural relations for the American Embassy, and Teodoro Becu, of the Camara Argentine del Libro.

Representing the accomplishments of 120 publishers, the book section of the display is intended to show what the "average good book of Argentina" is like. Subject matter ranges from children's books to philosophy and the history of art.

"Anti-Nazi Publications for Clandestine Distribution," printed by the Under-ground working from Montevideo, constitute the secondary exhibit and have unusual significance as a result of recent friction between American and Argentine State Departments.
