Miguel Delibes

Miguel Delibes was born in Valladolid in 1920; his paternal grandfather had come from Toulouse to work on the construction of the railway in Cantabria. Enlisted in 1938 in the navy of the Nationalist side, he then studied commerce and law, then joined the daily El Norte de Castilla as a caricaturist, which he directed from 1958 and left in 1963, in conflict with the minister Manuel Fraga. A hunter, he made the Castilian rural world a material of his work. Elected to the Spanish Academy in 1975, he received the Cervantes Prize and died in Valladolid in 2010.
