CAMILO JOSE CELA: MASTER OF SPANISH PROSE
James Skinner reviews the writer's life
He started reading the Spanish classics based on works of Ortega and Gasset and Rivadeneyra. Although he had had a go unsuccessfully at three different University careers that included Medicine and Law, writing was already flowing through his veins. By the mid-thirties, young Camilo Jose starts to write poetry and enters the realm of intellectuals and other contemporary writers. However, in 1936 the Spanish Civil war breaks out and Camilo Jose is caught up in the conflict fighting for the Nationalists (Franco). He is actually wounded and by the end of the war begins, in earnest, his career as a writer. Post war Madrid will have a lasting effect on the budding author.
The prolific Cela tried his hand at acting, painting, world travel and politics. In 1947 he presented a series of indescribable paintings in Madrid and later in his home country, Corunna. In 1950 he appeared as an actor in a low budget film called The basement, and in 1977, after the death of Franco he was elected to the Spanish Parliament as a senator in the transitional government of Adolfo Suarez. He even had a say in the development of the new Spanish Constitution. It is no surprise that the praises, recognition and awards that followed reflected his varied life achievements.

Ideas? My head is full of them, one after the other, but they serve no purpose there. They must be put down on paper, one after the other.
Camilo Jose Cela

Literature is the denunciation of the times in which one lives.
Camilo Jose Cela

The greatest reward is to know that one can speak and emit articulate sounds and utter words that describe things, events and emotions.
Camilo Jose Cela

There are two kinds of man: the ones who make history and the ones who endure it.
Camilo Jose Cela
Things are always best seen when they are a trifle mixed-up, a trifle disordered; the chilly administrative neatness of museums and filing cases, of statistics and cemeteries, is an inhuman and antinatural kind of order; it is, in a word, disorder.

http://www.grandpoohbah.net/Grandpoohbah/BookReviews/alcarria.htm
Journey to the Alcarria (Camilo José Cela) In the summer of 1946, seven years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, Camilo José Cela set out on foot to discover the heart of Spain. He chose Alcarria, in the north-east corner of New Castile, because he believed that the region – peasant, simple, rustic – would suit his purposes: it was a place where nothing ever happened; it was a place remarkable for its Spanishness. This is travel writing at its best – picaresque in the tradition of Cervantes, elegiac, evoking a Spain that has almost ceased to exist. Regarded as his greatest book of non-fiction, Journey to the Alcarria should help establish why Cela, at the end of 1989, surprised an English-language readership unfamiliar with his work by receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature. (Book Jacket) There are three distinct eras in modern Spain. The Spanish-American war of 1898 delivered a coup de grace to the Spanish Empire, striking at the decayed root of post-Moorish Spanish identity. This gave birth to a movement loosely known as 'the Generation of 98', whose objective was to start a process of national self-examination, culminating in the finding of a new set of ‘authentic’ Spanish values. The Generation of 98 criticized the contemporary social, political and economic conditions of the country and called for fundamental changes in the society. Although not entirely homogenous in outlook, it was basically European and existentialist in character. The philosophers Angel Ganivet and Miguel de Unamuno; the essayists Gregorio Marañon (the patron to whom Cela dedicates Journey to the Alcarria), Ramon Perez de Ayala and José Ortega y Gasset; the writers Pio Baroja and Ramón de Valle Inclan, the scientist and Nobel prize winner Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the historian Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo; the socialist thinker Pablo Iglesias; the composers Manuel de Falla and Joaquín Costa were all part of the pre-Franco intellectual establishment. Between the Wars, the Generation of 98 gave way to the Generation of 27, which championed the same diversity, creativity and liberalism.

His literary productionprimarily novels, short narratives, and travel diariesis characterized by experimentation and innovation in form and content. Cela is also credited by some critics with having established the narrative style known as tremendismo, a tendency to emphasize violence and grotesque imagery. Cela attended the University of Madrid before and after the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), during which he served with Franco's army. His first novel, Pascual Duarte, established his European reputation. Traditional in form, it was both a popular and a critical success. His second novel, La colmena The Hive ), with its fragmented chronology and large cast of characters, is an innovative and perceptive story of postwar Madrid. It solidified Cela's critical and popular reputation. Another of his better-known avant-garde novels, San Camilo, 1936
