Luis Moure-Mariño

Luis Moure-Mariño (1915 - November 6, 1999 in La Coruña ) was a Spanish writer.

Moure-Mariño, who was politically close to the Falange , studied law in Madrid. He then lived as a notary in Galicia . In the late 1930s he began to appear publicly as a book author. His early works deal primarily with the events of the Spanish Civil War and the person of Francisco Franco and are written from a perspective that sympathizes with the dictator and his system. In his later years, Moure-Mariño increasingly distanced himself from his beginnings as a non-fiction author by increasingly producing works of fiction.

In the German-speaking world, Moure-Mariño was best known for his Franco biography ( Perfil humano de Franco ), which he published in the original in 1938 and which was published in 1939 in a German edition by Germania AG with a foreword by Franz von Papen .
