Carlos Reyles
Carlos Claudio Reyles (born October 30, 1868 in Montevideo , † July 24, 1938 ibid) was a Uruguayan writer, essayist and agricultural politician.
life and work
Reyles, the son of a large landowner, founded the Federación Rural de Uruguay in 1915 at a time of crisis for agriculture and was committed to improving agricultural practices. As a businessman he was unsuccessful.
As an author, his novels mark the threshold from realism ( Beba , 1894) to modernism and fin de siècle literature ( Primitivo , 1896) to late decadence literature ( El gaucho Florido , 1932). His works are not free from anti-intellectual attitudes; he distinguished himself explicitly from Spanish literary models.
The Carlos Reyles settlement in central Uruguay was named after Reyles and his father of the same name in 1938 .
