About the author
Born in Asturias on October 4, 1853, Armando Palacio Valdés became one of Spain’s best-known novelists and literary critics. He studied law in Madrid, but literature drew him more strongly, and he went on to build a long writing career that stretched from the realist era into the early 20th century.
He is especially remembered for novels including Marta y María, La hermana San Sulpicio, and La alegría del capitán Ribot. Readers and critics have often noted the ease of his style, his observant eye for social life, and the warmth he brought to regional settings, particularly the world of his native Asturias.
Palacio Valdés died on January 29, 1938. Today he is remembered as an important voice in Spanish fiction: a writer interested less in grand display than in character, place, and the small turns of feeling that make a story feel human.
