About the author
Very little is firmly documented about this 19th-century Spanish writer. Reference sources identify him as Víctor África y Bolangero, often cited simply as Bolangero or under the form V. A. Bolangero, and note that even his birth and death dates are unknown.
He is associated above all with historical novels. Among the works linked to him are Fernando IV de Castilla o Dos muertes a un tiempo and Alonso el Onceno o Quince años después, both centered on medieval Castile and royal history.
Because so little biographical information survives, his profile today comes mostly through library records, public-domain editions, and brief encyclopedia entries rather than detailed personal accounts. That makes him one of those authors whose books have outlasted the facts of his life.
