Editor: Manuel Herrera y Reissig.

This was primarily a literary journal, with frequent examples of poetry of a decidedly modernistic slant, but with lengthy articles on "the problem of the soul," "On the Spiritualist Phenomena and their Interpretation" (by César Lombroso), "Science and Spiritualism," and the like. Herrera y Reissig was a famous poet and criminal lawyer of the time and graced the journal with a disquisition on the wonders of the "single tax": "Henry George: Su Escuela de Economia Politica--El Sistema Economico del 'Single Tax,'" which he later published as an influential book.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Nueva Atlántida is a cultured Montevideo review of a spiritist-philosophical temper, reaching for Dante and Aristotle as readily as for séance-room evidence. Its abiding subject is the soul — its separability from the body, its survival, its 'prolongation in the state of the dead' — argued through literature and philosophy rather than reported from the cabinet, with only a light touch of trance and psychology at the edges. It reflects the intellectually ambitious Kardecism of the Río de la Plata, where spiritism kept close company with letters. Its Baconian title is a flourish rather than a theme: there is no lost-continent lore here, and the hollow-earth flag from the raw term-panel is merely an artifact of Spanish spelling.
