Carles Soldevila
Carlos Soldevila y Zubiburu (Barcelona, 1892 - 1967) was a Spanish writer, poet, journalist and playwright, brother of the historian Ferran Soldevila. He began his literary career in Noucentisme and later became a reformer, principally of the novel, which he led to refine the customs of the bourgeoisie, contributing to its cultural Catalanization. A highlight of his work is his first trilogy: Fanny (1919), Eva (1931) and Valentina (1933), centring on three female characters and their internal worlds. With Valentina he won the Joan Crexells Prize for fiction.
