Alejandro Magariños Cervantes, Uruguayan writer and politician, born and died in Montevideo. He was a prolific author and published stories, poetry, essays, history books, and newspaper articles. He held various high political roles, was head of the University of the Republic in Montevideo, and consul in Buenos Aires. He made several journeys to Europe, living in Spain between 1846 and 1850 and in France between 1850 and 1855. Among his cultural initiatives, it is worth mentioning the foundation of the magazines Revista española de ambos mundos (Paris, 1853) and Biblioteca Americana (Montevideo, 1854). The literary work of Magariños was influenced by both Romanticism and Americanism. His Caramurú (1850) is considered the first Uruguayan national novel. His most important works are: La estrella del Sur. Memoria de un buen hombre (1849), La vida por un capricho (1850), No hay mal que por bien no venga (1852), Celiar (1852), Veladas de invierno (1853), Horas de melancolía (1858), Violetas y ortigas (1880), and Palmas y ombúes (1884).
