María del Socorro Tellado López (April 25, 1927, El Franco, Asturias – April 11, 2009), known as Corín Tellado, was a prolific Spanish writer of romantic novels and photonovels that were best-sellers in several Spanish-language countries. She published more than 4,000 novels and sold more than 400-million books which have been translated into several languages. She was listed in the 1994 ''Guinness World Records'' as having sold the most books written in Spanish. Her novels were different from other contemporary Western European romantic writers' works because she usually set them in the present and didn't use eroticism, due to the Spanish regime's strict censorship. Her style was direct and her characters simply presented. These novels have inspired several telenovelas. ==Biography== She was the only girl of 5 siblings. Her mother was a housewife and her father was a naval mechanic in the Merchant Navy. In 1939, after the Spanish Civil War, her father was promoted to First Officer and the whole family moved to Cádiz. She studied in a school run by nuns and read a lot. Her father died in 1945 and the family started to have economic problems; she sold her first novel, ''Atrevida apuesta'', to the publishing house, Editorial Bruguera in 1946 for 3,000 pesetas. This publishing house contracted her to write one short novel every week. She would later have problems with Editorial Bruguera. She started to study psychology but did not finish, and in 1948, she went back to Asturias with her mother. She married Domingo Egusquizaga in 1959 in Covadonga and one year later she gave birth to her first child, her daughter Begoña Egusquiza Tellado; in 1961 she gave birth to her second child, her son Domingo Egusquiza Tellado. In 1962, the couple separated. Her most popular novel was ''Lucha Oculta'' (1991). She published a different novel every week in Latin American magazine ''Vanidades''. She died on April 11, 2009 in her home as a result of a stroke. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corín Tellado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
