History
History
The publisher began when the lawyer Divinsky and his legal partner Tito Finkelberg joined with the editor Jorge Álvarez to open a bookshop. Not having the necessary capital for the company, Álvarez suggested to use the money (300 dollars) to instead buy book publishing rights. In 1967, de la Flor published its first book, the anthology Buenos Aires, de la fundación a la angustia (Buenos Aires from the foundation to the anxiety), including short stories by Julio Cortázar, Rodolfo Walsh and David Viñas. In 1970, Kuki joined the publishing house. That year, de la Flor published the first book of Quino's Mafalda. Between 1977 and 1983, during the Argentine military dictatorship, Divinsky and Kuki went into exile in Venezuela, for having published Cinco Dedos (Five fingers), a children's book considered "subversive" by the government.
