History

The publisher began when the lawyer Divinsky and his legal partner Tito Finkelberg joined with the editor Jorge Álvarez to open a bookshop. Not having the necessary capital for the company, Álvarez suggested to use the money to instead buy book publishing rights.
In 1967 de la Flor published its first book, the anthology Buenos Aires, de la fundación a la angustia , including short stories by Julio Cortázar, Rodolfo Walsh and David Viñas. In 1970, Kuki joined the publishing house. That year is published the first book of Quino's Mafalda
Between 1977 and 1983, during the Argentinian military dictatorship, Divinsky and Kuki went into exile in Venezuela, for having published Cinco Dedos '', a children's book considered "subversive" by the government.
