It appeared at a crucial time in Venezuelan history, in the 1960s, when the situation in the country was marked by political violence as the main element of daily life. During this period, which covers almost the entire decade, the armed insurgency of the sectors of the radical left takes place, with a predominance of Marxist-Leninist tendencies, although with the presence of other ideological currents within the common denominator of leftism. The triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 produced a vigorous rise of the popular movement throughout the Latin American continent, capitalized by the already mentioned sectors of the left. Venezuela was no exception, and the circumstance that said Revolution occurred one year after the fall of the military dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, meant that at that time the revolutionary effervescence caused by This fact, determined in turn by the insurrection of the popular masses, and in general of the entire population, especially of the city of Caracas, which forced sectors of the Armed Forces to overthrow the dictator, thus preventing the popular insurgency take more flight and drift towards a situation of revolutionary boom that could prove uncontrollable for the ruling classes. The heroic and determined attitude of the Marxist left in the fight against the dictatorship, which lasted almost ten years, gave it an aura of prestige and great sympathy, which it still retained in the 1960s. In the first number, it corresponded to the first fortnight of September 1964. Initially, during this first time, it had a large format, half a sheet, with a total of sixteen pages. From the beginning, the magazine was nourished with works by authors belonging to different countries. The first issue included texts by Venezuelans José Vicente Abreu, Elisa Lerner, Argenis Rodriguez, Juan Sânchez Pelâez and Alfredo Gerbes, along with those by foreign authors such as Ignacio Silone, Octavio Paz, Nathalie Sarraute, Pierre de Place, José Marfn, Yorgos Seferis and Alain Bousquet, as well as notes and comments that appear without signature. Certainly, the presence in that first issue of José Vicente Abreu is striking, since he was an active and very prominent militant of the Communist Party of Venezuela, and was quite committed to the insurrectionary line and the armed struggle of the leftist sectors throughout that we referred to before. Although the texts of his that are included in the magazine refer to the fight against the Pérez Jiménista dictatorship, in any case his name among the collaborators of this first issue seemed to contrast with the express statement of the aforementioned editorial, where the fields were clearly defined. ideological lines into which the Venezuelan intellectuals were then divided.
