José María Pemán (Cadiz 1897- Cadiz 1981) covered all the literary genres. Although most of his poetic works had Andalusia as their central theme, many of his verses were also inspired by his deep religious beliefs: De la Vida Sencilla, A la Rueda, Rueda, El Barrio de Santa Cruz, Las Flores del Bien. He demonstrated his genius as a story teller Romance del Fantasma or Cuentos sin importancia but his greatest success was as a playwright with El Divino Impaciente (1933), which was based on the life of San Francisco Javier. He also stood out as a brilliant orator and writer of articles.
