About the author
Born in Villanueva de la Serena, Spain, in 1864, Felipe Trigo studied medicine in Madrid and worked as a rural doctor before becoming known as a writer. His medical training and close contact with ordinary life gave his fiction a grounded, observant quality.
He went on to build a literary career in Madrid, writing novels that explored love, sexuality, marriage, and the tensions of Spanish society. Readers were drawn to the directness of his style and to the way he mixed psychological interest with social criticism.
Trigo died in Madrid in 1916. He remains a notable figure in Spanish literature for the way he connected popular storytelling with a frank, sometimes provocative look at human relationships.
