Eduardo Mallea[A´´thwAr´thO mAyA´A] Pronunciation Key, 1903–82, Argentine novelist and essayist.
Mallea is considered one of the outstanding Latin American literary figures.
Existentialist thought, particularly the writings of Kierkegaard and Kafka, influenced his intense and sometimes anguished analysis of modern urban society.
By all accounts, she excelled in establishing relationships with writers on three continents.
Under her leadership, Knopf published translations of French writers Albert Camus, André Gide, Simone de Beauvoir, and Jean-Paul Sartre; South American writers Jorge Amado, Gilberto Freyre, and EduardoMallea; and the first American edition of Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism.
Knopf published American classics, but under Blanche Knopf's urging the firm also published such new American writers as H.L. Mencken, Willa Cather, Dashiell Hammett, and Raymond Chandler.
