He received his first letter in the school of Jucuapa, and ten years old, entered college he had founded in San Salvador, the French pedagogue Charvin Augustine. In 1883 his father was sent to Guatemala in retaliation for refusing to enforce a punishment imposed on him.

He later moved to San Rafael del Sur, where he assumed the leadership of the School for Boys. In 1885 he moved to Costa Rica, where he remained only one year, and in 1886 returned to his native country and was a teacher at El Carrizal, where he lived for three years. In 1889 he was appointed principal of Jucuapa, the same in Masferrer himself had received his first lessons.
In 1890 he was named deputy school Sensutepeque and archivist of the Auditor General in San Salvador, two years later became director of the Official Journal and in 1900 became secretary of the National Institute, a post he left a year later, when he was appointed Consul of El Salvador in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Thus began a diplomatic career that led him to occupy the Salvadoran consulate in Santiago de Chile (1902), SanJose, Costa Rica (1907) and Antwerp (Belgium, 1910).

Claudia Lars
(Margarita Carmen Brannon Vega, Armenia, 1899 - San Salvador, 1974) Salvadoran Poet, one of the most outstanding voices of the twentieth century American poetry.
Daughter of Peter Patrick Brannon, American engineer, and the Salvadoran Carmen Vega Zelayandía, studied at the Assumption College of the City of Santa Ana, where the young Claudia opted for the humanities. Religion and poetry are linked to your home to enhance their natural sensitivity. From early on was influenced by the ancient classics and Spanish (Góngora,Quevedo, Fray Luis de Leon), and that of the English Romantics and Ruben Dario. It also coincided with some of his contemporaries, such as the Salvadoran Salarrué storyteller.
Poetess early age of seventeen published a short book of poems that went unnoticed: Sad mirages, which saw the light thanks to the patronage of General Juan José Cañas and poet, one of his early mentors. By the time Claudia Lars kept affairs with the poet Salomon de la Selva. But in 1919, when they had already formalized their commitment to marriage, the father of Claudia decided to break the link and send her daughter to the United States, home of some relatives settled in Pennsylvania. There he met Le Roy Beers, whom he married after a short courtship.
Without abandoning the North American country, the poet settled with her new husband in the Brooklyn borough of New York, where he served as professor of Spanish at the Berlitz School. In 1927 he had the opportunity to return home with his spouse, who had just been appointed U.S. consul in El Salvador. Lodged in the Salvadoran capital, in late 1927 their first child was born, Le Roy Brannon Beers, which would be the only child of Claudia Lars.
Claudia Lars returned to haunt the literary, especially gathered around the poet Trigueros Alberto Guerra, composed of writers like Alberto Masferrer, and Serafin Salarrué Quiteño. In this new environment of Claudia Lars poetry flowed again with spontaneity and ease, which resulted in 1934 in a new lyrical delivery: Stars at the well, published in the famousEditions Convivio through the will of the director, the Costa Rican intellectual Joaquín García Monge.
This work is well received by critics and readers, paved the way for the next collection of poems by Claudia Lars, Music Round (1936), followed, after a hiatus, The Glass House (1942). In this fertile period also published Romance of North and South (1946), Sonnets (1947) and City under my voice, award-winning book on the Fourth Centenary Memorial Exhibition Title of San Salvador.

FATHER'S STORY MODERN LANGUAGES AND PIONEER OF RESCUE
Before Ambrogi, the story in El Salvador had been written in verse as did Francisco Gavidia, but this literary genre appeared in the guise of chronic environment interspersed with local customs, like the stories of the late nineteenth published by J. Salvador Carazo (1850-1910). (Read In Province; Barba Salinas, Manuel. Anthology of Salvadoran story, p. 13-20)
But the story with the first overtones of its current structure, but not divorced from manners, begins with the stories of Ambrogi and specifically with his book Tales and fantasies, which he published in 1895. Prior to this volume published two years earlier, Bibelots, undeniably French influence, which incorporated articles, features and more than one imaginary story, perhaps, as a laboratory for what would be his second book, after all, Bibelots, as he he said, was written just fourteen years old, about nine years before he made known the real story.
Is there, Tales and fantasies, which started the modern short stories reflecting theproblems our country and the experiences of the peasantry, as well as rescuing their vocabular universe. Therefore, those who have researched the Salvadoran language, added to his status as father of the modern tale of a pioneer in speech Salvadoran rescue. Because for Ambrogi, the connotation was more stripped him naked, the pebbles, expressed more than hints, a little person was better understood by the word squat, and take the disengaged or indifferent are said to be better pacho eye, which now also be expressed as the Swiss or the bread. In short, the people writing through it or, the writer began to be recognized as a people.

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF A MAN OF THE TROPICS
This writer and storyteller born in the city of San Salvador on October 19, 1875, when coffee cultivation was basking in the different parts of El Salvador while extending the country's rail network providing a modern face, and died in the same city, November 8, 1936, while the people trembled subjugated by the dictatorship of martinato.

His works are: Bibelots (1893), Stories and fantasies (1895), stains, masks and sensations (1901), Twilight Sensations (1904), The Book of the tropics (1907), Marginal Life (1912), Time goes by (1913), Sensations of Japan and China (1915), wilted Chronicles (1916), The second book in the tropics (1916), The Jeton (1936) and Sample (1955).

To Ambrogi, journalism and literature were closely united and constant activities. We say constant, because even in the last days of his life he continued to write and say closelytogether because their stories often do not seem to shed the features of the story, as when we moved to the day that the first National Theatre of San Salvador was eaten by a sinister

'This morning, with the rubble still smoking, which only yesterday was the National, our soul felt that was covered with a crepe intense melancholy. Given that pile of coals, half-eaten wood, sheets of zinc incurred and stiff by combustion, fabric fragments smoked, charred rubble of paper ardidos and sooty ash, with the pieces of wall still standing, and the poor charred trees, all of a piece of our national life, a poem privacy, paraded before our eyes, our brain rhythmically hammered, raised in our imagination scenes and figures, the patina of time, corroyéndolas with vigor and perseverance of an acid, had been shut down.

Francisco Gavidia
(San Miguel, 1863 - San Salvador, 1955) Salvadoran poet who began his literary work among the romantics and was then one of the key figures of American modernism. His figure opened a stage for literature in El Salvador and Latin America in general, it is considered, by the Nicaraguan Rubén Darío and Cuban Jose Marti, one of the pioneers of modernist poetry.
The classic studies, journalism and politics filled his life. He trained in his country, but traveled throughout Europe and North America and South America. She fell for the Parnassians, translated into the French Romantics (Victor Hugo, Lamartine) and had the glory of Darius aRubén start, according to the confession of the master of modern poetry,in the knowledge of the French Parnassian and Symbolist and management Alexandrian with considerable freedom in the courts and rhythm, which was to materialize after the modernist revolution, with all its consequences and literary sequels. The starting point of these innovations was the translation made in 1884 Gavidia of a composition by Victor Hugo, 'Stella.' Also responsible for some adaptive trials of classical hexameter into our language. However, Francisco Gavidia was still, and most of all, a romantic who taught Ruben Dario to handle the Greek and Alexandrian hexameter French in Spanish.
In this adaptation to Castilian, Victor Hugo influenced him with depth and power of his verse. The accuracy of the beautiful verses of Gavidia is a constant: 'The curve of her chaste breast / That lifts his breast to quiet breathing, / As gentle voluptuous wave ranges / In the sea of a€‹a€‹whiteness of her bed.' Moreover, his poetry also described or helped to imagine the reality of his country with continental scenes. Investigated the pre-Hispanic and colonial historical past, he knew the Toltec culture, Maya and Nahuatl, Greco-Roman humanism and also the European factor did play a bit contrived measured and poetry. His verses are of great musicality, innovating in rhythm and meter. Some critics situate Sóteer or Land of medals (full edited in 1949) as his seminal book, but also highlights Verses (1884) and The Book of orange blossoms (1913).
Gavidia also cultivated other genres such as theater (looking for a language that approximated tothe public): Jupiter (1885), Ursinus (1889), Count of San Salvador or the God of Things (1901), Lucia Lasso or Pirates (1914 ), The Ivory Tower (1920) and the poem dramáticoLa Catalá Princess (1944) are some of his works. Through the newspapers of the time, moreover, also made a critical task and published educational tests. His essays were collected mainly in speeches, studies and conferences, in 1941. Their stories, for those who sought inspiration in pre-Columbian and colonial times and foreign traditions, were collected in several books, including Tales and stories (1931).
