About the author
Vicente Blasco Ibáñez
728 books154 followersVicente Blasco Ibáñez (January 29, 1867 – January 28, 1928) was a Spanish realist novelist writing in Spanish, a screenwriter and occasional film director.
Born in Valencia, today he is best known in the English-speaking world for his World War I novel The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He is also known for his political activities.
He finished studying law, but hardly practised. He divided his time between politics, literature. He was a fan of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
His life, it can be said, tells a more interesting story than his novels. He was a militant Republican partisan in his youth and founded a newspaper, El Pueblo (translated as either The Town or The People) in his hometown. The newspaper aroused so much controversy that it was brought to court many times and censored. He made many enemies and was shot and almost killed in one dispute. The bullet was caught in the clasp of his belt. He had several stormy love affairs.
He volunteered as the proofreader for the novel Noli Me Tangere, in which the Filipino patriot José Rizal expressed his contempt of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. He traveled to Argentina in 1909 where two new cities, Nueva Valencia and Cervantes, were created. He gave conferences on historical events and Spanish literature. Tired and disgusted with government failures and inaction, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez moved to Paris, France at the beginning of World War I.
He was a supporter of the Allies in World War I.
He died in Menton, France at the age of 61.

Blasco Ibáñez escribe desde París, para sortear la censura en España, un potente aleagato en contra de la intervención del rey Alfonso XIII en la vida política española de principios del XX.
Critica su germanofíia durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, sus corruptelas como accionista de empresas que operaban durante la guerra de Marruecos o su participación/inacción en el golpe de Estado de Primo de Rivera.
Blasco Ibáñez se proclama a menudo como un verdadero patriota, a pesar de que la casta monárquica le tilde de "mal español".
De fuerte contenido republicano, Blasco Ibáñez pide la abolición de la monarquía española, no por la caída de la monarquía per se, sino por representar esta un obstáculo para el progreso del país y es que, como decía Don Manuel Azaña: "El que quiera la República únicamente para derrocar al rey, es un ignorante".
Libro imprescindible para conocer las razones que impulsaron la República, y que sentaron las bases del Estado de Derecho que actualmente disfrutamos.

No le doy 5 estrellas por comentarios racistas, aunque supongo que en 1925 se considerans normal.
