Of city life and its backgrounds. There are
not few Spaniards who prefer, likewise,
the Blasco lbanez of the Valencian series.
The novel that lifted our authors name
across the boundaries of Spain was that
which is known in English as "The
Cabin" La Barraca, 1899. This was the
third of the Valenclan novels, following
upon "Arroz Tartana" (1S94) and "Flor
de Mayo" Translated into French three
years later under the excellent title "Terres
Maudites" Cursed Lands), it gave the au-

Original Works

The complete count of Blasco Ibanez's
original works reaches at present. when
he has just passed his ffty-second year, to
twenty-one. Of these all but two or three
are fiction. There are, in addition, two novels
with attractive titles announced for .earlv
publicatlon-"Ncnus Dolorosa" and "Los
Enemigos de la Mujer" (The Enemies of
Woman). Judging from the titles alone it
appears that the Spaniard is now to turn
his attention to the woman question; if
that be really the case he will doubtless
say things worth listening to, especially
since they come from nation whose women
are only now beginning to escape Gin litera-
ture, at any rate from the purely mascu-
line state Of affairs represented and SYM
bolzed in the point of honor"
Perhaps as convenient classification of
the authors original work as any would be
that dividing the novels into the region
al type, the propaganda type and the war
books, which are in essence Of the prop
uganda type. Outstanding representatives
Of the first would be such masterpieces as
La Barraca" (Ihe Cabin, or Farmhouse
and "Canas y Barro" Reeds and Mud); to
the second type belong such works as ia

ancient war, is also one OF the most sue

Not little Of the work that was to con-
tribute to Blasco Ibancz's chief literary
glory that is, his regional novels -was
tofeshado"ed in his carly collections Of
short tales, "Qucntos Valcncianos" (Val-

Life, Growth and What He
Stands For

shall lose half her legacy if she marries
again or is shown to have had intimacy
with any man. She discovers that she is
with child by Tonet; her greed, how
ever, will not permit half Of her fortune
going into the hands of persons whom she
detests, so she hides her maternity by
superhuman endeavors. When the child
is born Tonet is told to leave it at a
church door in Valencia; instead, che
browns the infant. Later the little corpse
under most dramatic circumstances, is dis
covered by Tonet's own dog. Tonet has
tried before to drink down his remorse;
now it flames up beyond control In a
moment of disgust with self and rage
against Neleta, whom he bames because
of her greed, he shoots himself Thus his
own death redeems the drowning of his
child.
Of course, there is a type of critic that
would, on a mere hearing or reading of
Such a plot as this, condemn the book at

This is but one of the possible conse-

be known here generally, rather than to the
curious and cultured few. Without the

are exactly clinical. Surely not so clinical.
for example, certain scenes in "Sangre
y Arena" The important thing is that the
author takes us into the very soul life of
these men and women; he is so familiar
with their mental attitudes that, although
ne himself is veritable dynamo of
literary, oratorical and political energy. he
can yet produce, in the vagabond
Sangonera an imaginative, besotted tramp
whose arguments in favor of universal
ldleness carry almost fascinating convic-
ton. In this tale of less than 300 pages
we find world in little; the region of

does, then it is great work 1t is one
of the books that had to be written. and
is therefore one of the books that ought

When we come to the two latest books
of the author the first of which has sold
IN such large numbers during the spast few
months, we encounter a strange synthesis
of the old lbanez and the new. 1t was
written in the stars that Ibafiez should pro-
duce "The Four Horsemcn of the Apoca-
lypse" and MARE Nostrum" In the war
that threatened first France and then the
rest of the world Ibanez's sympathies
were with the Latin republic, to which he
was further bound by his worship of zola.
an affection that reveals itself in Ibanez's
love of description, in his multichrome
portrayal of crowds and buildings, in his
instinct for propaganda. He was one of
the first Spaninrds to abandon all pre-
tence at neutrality and come out boldly
for the Allies. What, then, more natural
than to cmbody his overfiowing feelings
in a book? And what more natural than
that such a book, inspired by the heroic
resistance at the First Marine, should IT,
self assume dimensions adequate to the
vast scale upon which the war itself was
being fought?
