Vicente Blasco Ibáñez and Naturalism in Literature
Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (1867-1928)
Valencian Cycle: Focuses on Valencian environments and rural areas (Rice and Tartan, The Cabin, Reeds and Mud).
Political Cycle: Explores republican ideology and anticlericalism (The Cathedral, The Intruder, The Horde).
Final Cycle: Highlights include The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, set during World War I and defending the Allies. It has been the subject of countless films.
Naturalism
Naturalism: Emerged in France with the writer Emile Zola (1840-1902). It was a novelistic trend in which writers imitated the scientific method, trying to create a sociological document. For example, they started from the observation of reality and documents about what they were writing about, and often relied on medicine and psychology to explain the behaviors of their characters. They often recreated the most sordid, unpleasant, and even nasty aspects of reality: diseases, degeneration, etc.
