Collected Works

One of the most celebrated Spanish novelists of the early twentieth century, Vicente Blasco Ibanez was a noted proponent of naturalism in the vein of Zola. His early regional novels are marked by vigorous realism and considerable dramatic force in the depiction of the life of the author's native Valencia. Ibanez went on to achieve world renown for his novels dealing with World War I, while also producing sensation thrillers, reaching a wide audience via Hollywood adaptations.
