| biography:
| Popular novelist, born in Madrid, Spain. His most celebrated work was La casa de la Troya (1915), a somewhat sentimental story of student life in Santiago de Compostela, which sold more than half a million copies and was dramatized by Manuel Linares Rivas. Currito de la Cruz (1921), another work in the costumbrista vein, deals with an Andalusian bullfighter. The later novels La Corredoira y la Rúa (1923), La Virgen del Rocío ya entró en Triana (1926), and Arminda Moscoso (1928), are unsuccessful. His expert articles on bullfighting were signed Don Pío. |
