About the author
Born in Entrialgo, Asturias, on October 4, 1853, he studied law in Madrid but soon moved toward journalism and literature. Early in his career he wrote criticism, and he went on to become one of the notable Spanish novelists associated with 19th-century realism.
Much of his fiction draws on places and people he knew well, especially Asturias, which gave his work a strong sense of setting and local life. He wrote many novels, including Riverita, Maximina, La hermana San Sulpicio, and José, and his writing is often noted for its humane tone and close attention to character.
He died in Madrid on January 29, 1938. Today he is remembered as an important voice in Spanish fiction whose work joined social observation with an accessible, engaging storytelling style.
