Abstract
Francisco Umbral began his professional activity as a journalist in the radio station La Voz de León, which belonged to REM - Franco’s regime´s network-. Between May 1959 and February 1961, he had a daily section where he wrote diferent communications as a type of radio columns. In this article, this group of unpublished texts that Umbral had preserved unpublished are analysed for the first time. They are a rich source of information for a knowledge of the author’s journalistic and literary beginnings. We study in depth his years living in León, through a contextual, thematic and stylistic analysis of 770 radio articles from four different sections: “Buenas noches”, “El piano del pobre”, “Buenos días” and “El tiempo y su estribillo”.Downloads
