Omschrijving
Juan Valera y Alcala-Galiano (1824-1905) was a Spanish realist author, diplomat, and politician. He was born in Cabra, a province of Cordoba, and after graduating from the University of Granada with a degree in law he entered upon a diplomatic career. Over the next fifty years he filled a number of positions in far-flung locations, becoming a member of Spanish legations at Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Dresden, and St Petersburg. After his return to Madrid in 1859 he became one of the editors of the liberal journal El Contemporaneo, and in 1865 was appointed Minister to Frankfurt. After the revolution of 1868 he was appointed Assistant Secretary of State and Director of Public Instruction, and later took up ministerial positions in Lisbon, Washington, and Brussels, becoming Ambassador to Vienna from 1893-95. He was elected to the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in 1900. Throughout his diplomatic and political career he wrote a number of works which are acknowledged as among the highest his country's literature has produced. Pepita Jimenez, which first appeared as a serial in 1874, is his best-known work and has been translated into many languages. Morsamor (1899) is an historical novel set in the 16th century recounting the adventures of a young man, Miguel de Zuheros (or Morsamor, a combination of the Latin words for Death and Love), as he sets off from Lisbon in 1521 accompanied by Tiburcio, a lay brother acting as his squire, to circumnavigate the globe. Later, he awakes back in the monastery as an old man approaching death, wondering if his dreams were real or imagined, and with the desire to cleanse his soul. Reprinted from an original Spanish language edition
