Vicente Blasco Ibáñez

Vicente Blasco Ibáñez was born in Valencia in 1867. He graduated in law in 1888 but did not make it his profession, devoting himself to journalism, politics and the novel. A republican, he founded the newspaper El Pueblo in Valencia, around which grew the movement known as blasquismo, was imprisoned several times and sat repeatedly in the Cortes. In 1909 he went to Argentina and founded two agricultural colonies there, Cervantes and Nueva Valencia. A supporter of the Allies during the First World War, then an opponent of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, he died in Menton in 1928; his remains were brought back to Valencia in 1933.
