Alcides Arguedas

Died in 1946

Alcides Arguedas was born in La Paz on 15 July 1879 and took a degree there in law and political science. A journalist from his student days, he then entered the diplomatic service and served his country in Paris and London. An essay on the ills of Bolivia, published in Barcelona in 1909, earned him the praise of Miguel de Unamuno in Spain. A Liberal, he took the leadership of his party, became senator for La Paz in 1940 and held a ministry. A historian of his country as much as a novelist, and a poet in his early years, he died in Chulumani in 1946.
