Gabriel Miró

Spanish modernist writer. In 1900 he finished his studies in Law in the University of Granada and in the University of Valencia. He focused mainly on writing novels, but also collaborated to a large number of newspapers such as: El Heraldo, Los Lunes de El Imparcial, ABC and El Sol. The rich and poetic language, the philosophical and theological ideas, and the subtle irony are some of the main characteristics of his works. Gabriel Miró preferred to focus on the intimate world of his characters and its development, in the inner relations between everything in their surrounding and the way they evolve in time.

On May 3 during a dinner tribute to Miguel de Unamuno, Gabriel Miró felt unwell. Days later he was diagnosed with appendicitis. On the 26th he underwent an appendectomy, unsuccessfully. He died on May 27 at 20:25 (8:25pm).
