Publisher's Synopsis
Vincente Blasco Ibanez (1867 - 1928) was a journalist, politician, and best selling Spanish author in a number of different genres. Ibanez' works would have been considered Constumbrismo, because they depicted the details of rural life in the farmlands. Two of his novels have been adapted into Hollywood films, but he is best known for his novel "Blood and Sand." "The Fruit of the Vine" follows the love story of Rafael and Maria de la Luz while also acting as a social commentary on the rights of common humanity.
