Juan Ramón Jiménez

Died in 1958

Juan Ramón Jiménez was born in Moguer, near Huelva, in 1881. A pupil of the Jesuits at El Puerto de Santa María, he began studying law in Seville, which he abandoned for poetry, and published his first two books in 1900. Treated for depression, first in France and then in a sanatorium in Madrid, he then devoted himself entirely to his work. In 1916 he married Zenobia Camprubí, who became his collaborator. Exiled from the start of the Civil War, he settled in Puerto Rico, received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956 and died in San Juan in 1958.
