Childhood and early career

Camilo José Cela was born in Padrón, Spain, on May 11th. He was the ninth child of nine years old. Camilo Crisanto Cela y Fernández, his father, was Galician. Camila Emanuela Trulock y Bertorini, his mother, was a Galician of English and Italian descent. Cela characterized his childhood as "too glad it was difficult to grow up" since the family was upper middle-class, and Celanny described it as "so happy it was difficult to grow up."

He and his family lived in Vigo from 1921 to 1925, when they later moved to Madrid. Cela attended a Piarist academy. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1931 and subsequently moved to Guadarrama's sanatorium, where he used his free time to concentrate on his book Pabellón de reposo. Cela began reading José Ortega y Gassett and Antonio de Sol's y Ribadeneyra's y Ribadeneyra's work while recovering from the illness.

Cela was 20 years old and only recovering from his illness in 1936. His political leanings were conservative, and he had left the country for the resistance zone. He enlisted himself as a soldier, but in Logroo he was wounded and hospitalized.

Career

Cela became indecisive toward his university studies and ended up working in a textile industry bureau after the war ended in 1939. It was here where he began writing La familia de Pascual Duarte (The Family of Pascual Duarte), his first book, which would be released in 1942 when he was 26. Pascual Duarte has a difficult time finding meaning in traditional morality and has committed a number of offences, including murders, for which he has no regrets. The novel is of particular note because it was instrumental in influencing the course of the post-World War II Spanish novel.

Cela became a censor in Francoist Spain in 1943. Perhaps his best-known work was created during a period in which his own writing was scrutinized by his peers, such as La colmena (The Hive) was published in Buenos Aires in 1951, having been barred in Spain. The book features more than 300 characters and a style that reveals the influence of both Spanish realism and modern English and French-language authors. In La colmena, Cela's signature style, a sarcastic, often gritty, version of realism, is epitomized.

Cela's work evolved rapidly from the late 1960s to the publication of San Camilo 1936. He wrote Cristo versus Arizona in 1988, which tells the tale of the Gunfight in the United Kingdom. Corral is read in a single sentence that is more than a hundred pages long.
