from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manuel Baldomero Ugarte (born February 27, 1875 in Buenos Aires , † December 2, 1951 in Nice ) was an Argentine writer.

The brother of the composer Floro Ugarte attended the Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires from 1881 . In 1893 he published his first volume of poetry Palabras . In 1895 he founded the Revista Literaria , which he headed until his departure for Paris 1897th There he wrote several books to which u. a. Miguel de Unamuno , Rubén Darío and Pío Baroja wrote forewords, learned English and Italian, attended courses in philosophy and sociology at the university and became a socialist under the influence of Jean Jaurès .

A trip through the USA and Mexico in 1899 reinforced his socialist convictions, and after his return to Buenos Aires in 1903 he joined the Socialist Party of Argentina, in which, unlike Juan B. Justo and Nicolás Repetto, he took a national course. Along with Leopoldo Lugones , Alfredo L. Palacios , José Ingenieros , Roberto J. Payró and others, he was one of the young intellectuals of the Generación 900 .

At the International Socialist Congress in Amsterdam in 1904 , Ugarte represented the Socialist Party of Argentina. In 1908 he presented in the article Socialismo y Patria , which he published in the socialist newspaper La Vanguardia , his ideas of a connection between anti-imperialism, socialism and a democratic nationalism. Between 1911 and 1913 he promoted at conferences and lectures in Latin America and at the university of Columbia established a Latin American union modeled on the USA.

In 1913 he left the socialist party and in 1914 founded the Asociación Latinoamericana . The magazine La Patria , founded in 1915 and to which Rubén Darío and Ricardo Jaimes Freyre contributed, existed for just under three months. In 1918 Ugarte became spokesman for the Federación Universitaria Argentina .

From 1919 to 1935 Ugarte lived in exile in Europe, initially in Spain - later he settled in Nice. Along with Maxim Gorki , Miguel de Unamuno and Albert Einstein, he was one of the editors of Monde magazine . From 1939 to 1946 Ugarte lived with his wife in Viña el Mar, Chile.

In 1946 he returned to Argentina and joined the Peronist regime, as its ambassador in Mexico, Nicaragua and Cuba. In 1951 he retired to Nice, where he died on December 2nd.
