Vicent Andrés Estellés () (4 September 1924 in Burjassot, Valencia – 27 March 1993 in Valencia) was a Spanish journalist and poet. He is considered one of the main renovators of modern Catalan poetry, with a similar role to that of Ausiàs March or Joan Roís de Corella in earlier periods. == Biography == Vicent Andrés Estellés was twelve years old when the Spanish Civil War broke out. During its course, he trained to become both a baker and a goldsmith, and learned to write on a typewriter. The war had a profound impact on his work, in which death is a recurring theme. Estellés spent his teenage years in Valencia, where he developed an interest in literature. During that period, he was most influenced by Charles Baudelaire, Pablo Neruda, Paul Éluard, Cesare Pavese, and Walt Whitman, Catalan poets such as Màrius Torres, Jacint Verdaguer, Josep Carner, Carles Riba, Santiago Rusiñol and Joan Salvat-Papasseit, as well as the Valencian poet Ausiàs March and the Balearic poet Bartomeu Rosselló-Pòrcel. In 1942, at the age of 18, Estellés moved to Madrid to study for a degree in Journalism. Three years later, he left to do his military service in Navarre. At the age of 24, he moved back to Valencia and became a journalist for the newspaper ''Las Provincias''. He befriended Joan Fuster, Xavier Casp and Manuel Sanchis i Guarner〔(Autores: Vicent Andrés Estellés ), in letrA, Catalan Literature Online (Open University of Catalonia) (Spanish).〕 – all three of them well-known Valencian writers – and met Isabel, who would later influence his writings as well. In 1955 Estellés married Isabel. The couple had a daughter, who passed away when she was just four months old. After this tragic event, which Estellés recalled in ''Coral romput'', death became a recurring theme in his works. In 1958 he became editor-in-chief of ''Las Provincias'', only to be dismissed for political reasons in 1978,〔''Una aproximació a Vicent Andrés Estellés''.〕 thus being forced into early retirement at the age of 54. This allowed him to devote himself entirely to writing and engaging in a variety of cultural activities, such as art exhibitions. That same year, Estellés was awarded the Premi d'Honor de les Lletres Catalanes. In 1984 he was awarded the Premi d'Honor de les Lletres Valencianes. Estellés spent a few years in Benimodo, a municipality in the ''comarca'' of Ribera Alta, in the Valencian Community. During this period, he combined poetry with prose in his works. He received several awards in the 1990s, including the ''Premis Octubre''. 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「Vicent Andrés Estellés」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
