Abstract
-
Vicente Blasco Ibanez is predominantly known today as "the Spanish Zola" because of the influence of Naturalism in his first novels. Little is known, however, about his interest in film and the influence of the "Seventh Art" in his last literary works.;In order to relate Literature to Film, Vicente Blasco Ibanez created "La novela cinematografica" (The Cinematografic Novel), that was an attempt to write for the screen by using literary techniques ease to adapt to film. Blasco Ibanez believed that La novela cinematografica could help Literature to overcome the crisis in which it was immersed at the beginning of the twentieth Century.;The influence of film in Blasco Ibanez's works must be studied in two different periods: one from 1900 to 1919 (the European years), and another from 1919 to 1928 (the United States period). In Paris he founded a film production company, for which he wrote scripts and used literature novels were significantly influenced by the Italian history films, the French Impressionist Film School, the Nordic School and Hollywood. Examples of these novels include: Sangre y arena (1908), Los cuarro jinetes del Apocalipsis (1916) and Mare nostrum (1918).;In 1919, Blasco Ibanez began his relationship with Hollywood. Blasco Ibanez wrote scripts for Metro and other American studios (El paraiso de las mujeres (1922), Argentine Love (1924) and Circe the Enchantress (1925)). He also wrote novels to be published and produced in film (En busca del Gran Kan (1929) and El caballero de la Virgen (1929)). In scripts based on his novels, Rodolfo Valentino and Greta Garbo became famous, and also the myth of "Latin Lover" was created.;Although Blasco Ibanez was not the only Spanish writer interested in film at the beginning of this century, he was one of the most involved in this media. Blasco Ibanez and his cinematographic novels have to be considered, therefore, as a preeminent example of twentieth century literary work.
