Everything about Ricardo G Iraldes totally explained
Ricardo Güiraldes (
13 February 1886 —
8 October 1927) was an
Argentine novelist and poet, one of the most significant
Argentine writers of his era, particularly known for his 1926 novel
Don Segundo Sombra, set amongst the
gauchos.
Life
Güiraldes was born in
Buenos Aires, the second son of a wealthy family of the old landowning aristocracy. His mother was Dolores Goñi, descendant of Ruiz de Arellano, who founded the village of
San Antonio de Areco in 1730. Manuel Güiraldes, his father, later
intendente (governmentally appointed mayor) of Buenos Aires
Güiraldes's childhood and youth were divided between the family ranch, La Porteña in San Antonio de Areco, and Buenos Aires.. Güiraldes returned to Argentina, then went back to Europe in 1922, where besides returning to Paris he passed some time in
Puerto de Pollensa,
Mallorca, where he rented a house.
In this period he underwent an intellectual and spiritual change. He became interested in
theosophy and
Eastern philosophy, seeking spiritual peace; this is strongly reflected in his late poetry.
At the same time, Güiraldes's writing became more accepted in his native Buenos Aires, where he became a supporter of new
avant-garde writers; he was something of an elder and teacher to the
Florida group. In 1924, along with
Brandán Caraffa,
Jorge Luis Borges, and
Pablo Rojas Paz he founded the short-lived magazine
Proa, which wasn't particularly successful in its home city but met with a better reception elsewhere in Latin America. Güiraldes also co-founded the
Frente Unico, opposed to
pompierismo (the use of dry or pompous academic language in writing), and collaborated in the publication of the magazine
Martín Fierro. Güiraldes's body was brought back to
Buenos Aires and finally entombed in San Antonio de Areco.
