Mundial (magazine)

[2] Its director was Andrés Aramburú Salinas [es] and it was printed on the site of the La Opinión Nacional, a publishing house on Calle Mantas 152.

[1] The following collaborated permanently:[2] Among them stand out: José Carlos Mariátegui, who made known through Mundial his famous Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, before publishing them as an organic book;[2] Luis Alberto Sánchez, who published numerous literary essays; César Vallejo, who from Europe sent his chronicles that covered the most diverse cultural and political topics of the Old World; Jorge Vinatea Reynoso, with the well-made caricatures of him;[3] Humberto del Águila, with his "letters from Rucio", political comments in Cervantes' style.

Without falling into the questionable methods of the yellow press, Mundial knew how to take advantage of that contribution, incorporating sensational and current sections, within a broader content, where opinion, satire and political caricature, interviews, social and labor pages, criticism of shows, literature, etc.

[1] At the end of 1930, Aramburú began a campaign for humanitarian treatment to be given to the overthrown and imprisoned president Augusto B. Leguía, because his advanced age and delicate state of health demanded it.

[5] When the weekly newspaper closed in 1931, its archives became one of the most important graphic records of the events that marked the history of the 1920s in Peru and the world, as well as a valuable collection of articles, chronicles and essays from the Peruvian intellectuality of that time.
