ENRIC VALOR BIOGRAPHY By: Berta, Noelia, Celia and Julia
INTRODUCTION Enric Valor was a Valencian narrator and grammarian who made one of the most important contributions to the re-collection and recovery of Valencian lexicography and its standardization in the Valencian Community.
BIOGRAPHY EnricValor was born in Castalla (1911), in the Valenciancomarca of l'Alcoià. He studied at the school of commercial in Alicante. When he was 19 years old he became a journalist in Alicante writing in the satiricalnewspaper El TioCuc, in Valencian. During the Second Spanish Republic he was active as a politician. He was also at this time working in the city of Valencia in the nationalist newspapersLa República de les Lletres, El Camí and El País Valencià. When the Spanish Civil War broke out he supported the Spanish Republic.
At the beginning of the 1950s he started to collecte "rondalles”, which are like little stories. In total he collected 36 rondalles with a great narrative value. He collaborated at the creation of the DiccionaryCatalà-Valencià-Balear. Besides he defended the laws of valencianortography. In 1950 he finished his first novel, L'ambiciód'Aleix. Andotherimportantnovels are: Cicle de Cassana, La idea de l'emigrant, Sense la terra promesa.
During the 1960s he returned to underground political activities involving Valencian nationalism but he became a political prisoner of Franco's dictatorship from 1966 to 1968. Once out of prison he founded almost the first magazine in Valencian in the postwar period. When Franco ended being the dictatorship, Enric Valor could spread freely his opinion. During the 1990s there was a move among some Valencian cultural groups to propose Valor as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, but at the end they didn´t do it.
He was appointed member of philology institute in 1978. In 1983 he released La flexió verbal where he summarized the widely dialectisedValencian verbs. This work became the principal reference for the normative use of verbs, and is used as essential teaching material for Valencian pupils. He died the 13th of January in 2000 at Valencia, at the age of 89 and some months before he died he was giving a conference when he said that every Valencianshould use the Valencian language to enrich our culture.
