José Martínez Ruiz
José Augusto Trinidad Martínez Ruiz, better known by his pseudonym Azorín (; June 8, 1873 – March 2, 1967), was a Spanish novelist, essayist and literary critic.José Martínez Ruiz was born in the village of Monòver, Spain in the province of Alicante on 8 June 1873.
The outbreak of the Second Spanish Republic saw him re-adopt his old progressive political ideals. He abandoned the conservative ''ABC'' newspaper to write for the republican newspapers ''El Sol'', ''La Libertad'' and ''Ahora''. He edited ''Revista de Occidente'', founded by José Ortega y Gasset, a journal promoting European philosophy, from 1923 to 1936.
When he returned to Spain after the Spanish Civil War, he found himself in "inner exile", along with other intellectuals who had not overtly supported the Franco regime during the conflict. He was at first denied a press identification card (''tarjeta de periodista''), but was supported by Ramón Serrano Suñer, at that time Franco's Interior Minister and president of the Falange. Accepting Franco’s regime was the price he had to pay in order to be admitted back, and he aligned with the dictatorship in a noted article in the right-wing journal ''Vértice''.
In his old age, Azorín became a film enthusiast, writing numerous articles, some of which are reprinted in ''El cine y el momento'', and claiming that "Cinema is the greatest form of art". He died in Madrid, Spain on March 2, 1967, at the age of 93. Provided by Wikipedia
