Enrique Gómez Carrillo

Enrique Gómez Carrillo was born on 27 February 1873 in Guatemala City, the son of a Guatemalan historian and a Belgian mother. At eighteen, a government scholarship sent him to Europe and he never returned. In Paris he became one of the most widely read chroniclers in the Hispanic world, a correspondent for newspapers in Madrid and Buenos Aires, and served as consul of Guatemala and later of Argentina. Married three times, notably to the singer Raquel Meller, and suspected of having betrayed Mata Hari, he died in Paris in 1927.
