"Ramón Antonio Vicente Otero Pedrayo ( Orense , March 5, 1888 - Orense , April 10, 1976 ) was a Spanish writer and politician, ideologically linked to republican Galicianism .
Born in Orense on March 5, 1888, he belonged to the so-called Nós ("We") group. He worked different literary genres: essay, novel and poetry, in addition to geographical scientific studies from his chair at the University of Santiago de Compostela . In the Guide to Galicia , which he directed, there are some of his best contributions. A member of the Galeguista Party , he was a deputy in the Courts of the Republic.
Notable among his novels are Os camiños da vida ( The Paths of Life ) and O meson dos Ermos ( The Inn of the Ermos ), a detailed description of Galician customs and rural life. But the best known is Arredor de si ( Around oneself ), which can be considered partially autobiographical and allows us to glimpse the paths traveled by the members of the so-called Nós Generation until Galicianism. In this "autobiographical" sense, Arredor de si is completed with the articles Dos nosos tempos ( Of our times) by Florentino López Cuevillas, and with Nós, os inadaptados ( We, the misfits ) by Vicente Risco , the latter two appearing in the magazine Nós .
The library and the documents and writings of Otero Pedrayo are preserved by the foundation that bears his name and the Penzol Foundation, the former managing the Trasalba house-museum.
