Mago Bruno is a novel written by Camilo José Cela, which tells the story of an Italian-born priest who teaches magic at a seminary in Madrid. In addition to being a master storyteller and an intuitive author, Cela also is considered one of the most influential Spanish authors. This article will give you some background on this novel and how it’s translated into English for your reading pleasure. During his lifetime, Camilo José Cela was considered Spain's most important writer, but he is probably more famous for "Mago Bruno," his unpublished second novel that was found among his papers after his death in 1999. This novel is full of magic, but not the type of magic found in Harry Potter. Instead, this is a fantasy about reality and how it can be distorted through magical practices. Author Camilo José Cela was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, which was awarded to him in 1989. He's one of Spain's most important writers who wrote more than 50 novels that took place during Spain's Civil War (1936-1939). He was born into poverty in 1915 and he didn't learn how to read until he was 9 years old, but after that his talent for writing was unstoppable. However, Cela's youth held no promise; he grew up in poverty. His father was drafted into the military at the start of World War I, but he never returned. Cela grew up under the care of his mother because his grandfather couldn't afford to raise another child after taking care of Cela's father. She taught him how to read so that he would have something useful to do when he grew up. He first attended high school at age 14, but he barely managed to finish second grade. Nevertheless, he studied law and philosophy because it was required at the time After graduating, Cela insisted on being a writer instead of a professor or lawyer. He wrote stories about life in Spain before, during, and after World War II, which are considered sacred documents for contemporary Spain. One of Cela's literary works was the novel, "La última vez" which was published in 1939. As his name suggests, this book tells the story of a man who died during the Spanish Civil War. This book was very successful and it won him a small amount of money to help him through difficult times. Cela's writing career didn't go anywhere after "La última vez" because he moved to Madrid in 1941 where he worked at a bank for three years. After that, he found work at the Banco Español de Crédito which is now known as Bankia S.A. He worked there until 1956 when he quit because he was displeased with the amount of power that the bank had over him. Cela finished his novel called "Mago Bruno" in 1967. He began writing it in 1957, which is unusual because most writers don't write the first draft of their novels until they're done writing it. It's still considered one of Cela's best works and a great accomplishment for a writer who wasn't well received during his lifetime. He used a pseudonym for this novel because he wanted to be anonymous and not distract from the success that was going to come from "Mago Bruno. 8eeb4e9f32 46
