Hen's Party Greeting Message

Master Secrets Max Aub

Photo Alberti and María Teresa León
The other day I called my friend Mike. It has a bookshop near the Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid, and tells me when he finds something that you think may be interested.
happened this time with a copy of the Complete Poems Alberti, published by Losada in 1961.

A little red book covers Rozadas (Fatigued, booksellers say that his peculiar language), which had a picture stuck on the flyleaf. It sees Raffaello Alberti and María Teresa León, along with two others, taken in Panama in 1935, as shown in the handwritten note.

On the back of the photo, writing hand, identifies the rest of the characters left, Rogelio Sinan, (1902-1994), novelist and poet Panamanian friend, among others, Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral. On the right is identified only by his initials, RJ, hampering their identities.

RJ Ex Libris Laurenza
But in the first few pages can see a EX LIBRIS, the writer Laurenza Javier Roque, (1910-1985) whose initials match those of the fourth character photo.
Alberti is known that visited Panama in 1935, after a trip through Mexico and Central America, and his visit to Russia, and there must have coincided with Sinan and Laurenza.

The rest are questions, as always. This unusual secret world that often also keep books, and explain that you will find them in bookstores.

Rogelio Sinan
A Panama Rafael Alberti dedicated a poem that began:

, "I have seen Panama from snow-white clouds and continents
without passengers,
; from north to south and checking the Isthmus
zone on a long field "

And I'm also thinking of putting my bookplates, some page hidden, to continue with the questions.
