| Description |
English: This photo is a hoax. It was passed off as an 1891 photograph of a made-up Chilean writer named Juan José Hidalgo who supposedly lived from March 20, 1865 to April 12, 1920.
The following is translated from the Spanish Wikipedia hoax entry: Born Juan José Hidalgo Marín, he was born in the city of Valparaíso in Chile in 1865 into an aristocratic family. He was the son of Gaspar Hidalgo Fernandez, an important politician and Constanza Marín Madariaga, a Spanish lady. He grew up in his hometown until he and his family moved to Santiago in 1869. Hidalgo was educated in a private school, a luxury reserved for upper-class families. He was expelled from the school after being caught with a copy of the key that opened the classrooms. He then finished his studies in a public school until he entered the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 1890. His passion for literature began at the age of 11, when he first read the book Journey to the Center of the Earth. He published his first work while attending university, El Zurdo ("The Left-Handed Man"), which told the story of a vagrant. He finished his studies in 1887, when he published his second work, Poemas Encerrados ("Enclosed Poems"), of which too little is known and there are less than 200 copies. Already settled in the city of Santiago, he always criticized the extreme modernization of the city, until in 1895 he went to live in the town of Casablanca, Chile near the coast. It was there that he met Cristián Fernández, who would be his close friend and co-author of another of his novels. In 1898 he published The Norwegian Cabin, a novel he had written together with Fernandez, in a humble printing press in Casablanca. Hidalgo lived in Casablanca until his first and only son, Patricio Hidalgo, was born in 1908. Inspired by the book Around the World in Eighty Days, he decided to travel the world with his wife and son together. It is known that he traveled to Patagonia, the Amazon Rainforest, the United States, and throughout almost all of Europe. At the end of his trip, he stayed to live in Marbella, Spain, with his family, as he felt it was the most beautiful city he had visited. Around the year 1914, he wrote what would be his last novel, Tierras en Guerra ("Lands at War"), which dealt mainly with his point of view on World War I. Hidalgo died in 1920 at his home in Marbella of severe tuberculosis. He died accompanied by his wife, son, and friend Cristián Fernández. He is buried in the Virgen del Carmen Cemetery of Marbella, facing the Mediterranean Sea.Español: Esta foto es un engaño.
