Childhood and Early Life
Horacio Quiroga was born in Salto, Uruguay, to a diplomat father who was accidentally shot and killed shortly after his birth.
He demonstrated an early interest in literature and experimental sciences, studying in Montevideo.
Bohemian Life in Paris and Return to Uruguay
In 1899, Quiroga traveled to Paris, but its bohemian lifestyle held little appeal for him.
Upon returning to Uruguay, he pursued teaching, journalism, and photography.
Literary Debut and Modernism
Quiroga published his first collection of poems and poetic prose in 1901, heavily influenced by Hispanic Modernism, notably Rubén Darío.
