Ángel Ganivet (Granada 1865-Riga, Slovenia 1898). Spanish essayist whose work is linked to the Generation of '98. In his main work Idearium Español (1897), he gives a pessimistic interpretation of Spanish history and potential solutions. His belief that Spain itself can orchestrate its own regeneration is summarised in his phrase: "the Truth is to be found in Spain". In a bout of madness he threw himself into the river Dvina while serving with the Spanish consular service in Riga, in 1898.
