Biography

Wenceslao Fernández Flórez was born in La Coruña, Galicia, Spain. From an early age, he aspired to study medicine, but after his father died when he was fifteen, he had to leave school and begin working as a journalist. In 1913, he moved to Madrid to work for the Directorate General of Customs, but soon left to join the newspaper ABC. He won the Circle of Fine Arts prize for his novel 'Volvoreta' (1917), which tells the story of a forbidden love between a servant and his young master set in rural Galicia. In 1926, he received the National Prize for Literature for his work 'The Seven Columns.' Although he was deeply patriotic and held conservative views, he did not hesitate to offer sharp social criticism, especially in works like 'The Secret of Bluebeard,' 'The Seven Columns,' and 'The Ironic Mirror,' which focus on politics and politicians during Alfonso XIII's reign. During the Second Republic, he was awarded the Gold Medal of Madrid and in 1935 received the newly established Band of the Republic award from Alejandro Lerroux's government. At the start of the Spanish Civil War, he faced death threats for not supporting the Popular Front government. In 1944, he contributed to the screenplay of José Luis Sáenz de Heredia's film 'Destiny Apologizes.' He became a member of the Royal Spanish Academy in 1945. In 1955, his own script based on his 1915 novel 'Moonlighting' was adapted into the film 'The Luxury Cabin,' shot in La Coruña, which criticized Franco's government for its permissiveness toward emigrants seeking work abroad. In 1951, he adapted Pedro Antonio de Alarcón's novel 'Captain Poison' for a film directed by Luis Marquina. Several of his works were also adapted into films by Rafael Gil, including 'The Man Who Wanted to Kill Himself'—which Gil directed twice, in 1942 and 1970—and 'Light Footprint' in 1943.
