The BBMP publishes in Spanish. Articles may be proposed, in addition to Spanish, in Galician, Basque, Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, French and English. The authors whose articles are approved, undertake to deliver, within the following thirty days, a correctly written translation of their article into Spanish.

The story of this special issue of the Bulletin of the Menéndez Pelayo Library, dedicated to the writer Carmen Martín Gaite (1925-2000), began when Soledad Pérez-Abadín and David González Couso proposed that we pay tribute to this pivotal figure in Spanish literature on the centenary of her birth. Until that point—let's say more than a year ago—our journal had not published any studies on the Salamanca-born writer other than Adolfo Sotelo's excellent article, "Between Curtains, Nadal Prize 1957," published in the special 2023 issue, in which several researchers reviewed the Nadal Prize and postwar narrative. In his work, Professor Sotelo meticulously analyzed the literary, media, and publishing context surrounding the awarding of the Nadal Prize to Carmen Martín Gaite's novel *Entre visillos*. He reconstructed the events leading up to the award and examined the close relationship between the author and the Destino publishing group, with particular emphasis on the publisher's crucial role as a cultural platform in post-war Spain. Given the issue the reader now holds, whether by turning pages or clicking on a computer screen, this article could be considered a "prequel" to this volume. It presents a comprehensive approach, exploring the various intellectual and personal facets of Carmen Martín Gaite—varied and fascinating topics previewed in the volume's prologue by its coordinator, Soledad Pérez-Abadín, who invites us to delve into these valuable works.
