Max Aub

Max Aub was born in Paris in 1903, to a German father, a commercial traveller, and a French mother of Jewish origin. The war of 1914 took the family to Valencia; he learned Spanish, chose to write in that language and for a long time worked as a commercial traveller. During the Civil War he managed in Paris the commission of Picasso's Guernica, then worked with André Malraux on his film and left Spain with him in 1939. Denounced to Vichy, interned at Le Vernet and then at Djelfa, he reached Mexico in 1942 and died in Mexico City in 1972.
