About the author
Born in Paraná, Argentina, on July 18, 1882, Manuel Gálvez became one of the country's best-known novelists and biographers. He studied law at the University of Buenos Aires and graduated in 1904, but literature became the center of his career.
Gálvez wrote across many genres, including novels, poetry, essays, history, and biography. Reference works describe him as an important figure in modern Spanish American literature, and his fiction is often noted for examining Argentine society and its tensions during the early 20th century.
He died in Buenos Aires on November 14, 1962. Remembered for both the breadth of his writing and his interest in Argentina's social and cultural life, he remains a significant name in Argentine letters.
