About the author
Born in Villanueva de la Serena in 1864, Felipe Trigo was a Spanish writer who first trained and worked as a physician. He studied medicine in Madrid and practiced in Extremadura before becoming known for his literary and journalistic work.
His novels often tackled sexuality, social conventions, and the gap between public morality and private behavior. That willingness to take on uncomfortable subjects helped make him a striking and sometimes controversial voice in early 20th-century Spanish literature.
Trigo is also remembered for works such as El médico rural and Jarrapellejos, which draw on his medical background and his sharp view of society. He died in Madrid in 1916, but his books still stand out for their mix of realism, criticism, and emotional force.
