Life

Andrés Rivera is the pseudonym of Marcos Ribak. He came from an immigrant family , his parents had emigrated from what was then the Russian Empire , fleeing from war and pogroms , his mother's name was Zulema Schatz , born in Chmelnyzkyj , Ukraine, lived in Proskurow , western Ukraine, his father's name was Moisés (Moses) Rybak , which means “fisherman” in Polish, hence his pseudonym “Rivera”, a common Spanish name for someone who lives near water (Spanish: rivera , diminutive of rio , a river or brook).

After completing school, he worked as a factory worker for some time. His first literary attempts also come from this time.

Rivera later became a freelancer for various magazines and journals. Between 1953 and 1957 he worked as an editor for the magazine Plática . In addition, an independent literary work emerged over the years. Since Rivera was able to consolidate his success as a writer over time, he gave up his profession and devoted himself only to writing.
