About the author
Born in Málaga in 1864, Arturo Reyes Aguilar was a Spanish writer, journalist, and poet whose work was closely tied to Andalusia. Reliable reference sources describe him as a narrator of local life, and his fiction is especially associated with costumbrismo—writing that captures customs, speech, and scenes from everyday society.
He wrote novels, short fiction, poetry, and journalism, and he contributed to periodicals of his time. Even with a difficult early life, he built a literary career centered on the people and atmosphere of his native city, making Málaga more than just a setting: it became one of the defining presences in his work.
Reyes died in Málaga in 1913. He is still remembered as an important regional voice in Spanish literature, especially for readers interested in Andalusian culture and the texture of ordinary life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
