Antonio Menchaca Careaga (15 July 1921 – 2002) was a Spanish novelist and poet.^[1] He was born at Las Arenas, province of Vizcaya, educated at Catholic institutions, Oxford University, and the University of Madrid. He had a maritime career at first but was committed to peace in the world. He is regarded as a liberal defender of democracy under the fascist dictatorship of Franco.^[1] After he signed a manifesto ("of the 500") against the Law of Succession to the Headship of the State in 1947, the navy expelled him. Thereafter he worked for a shipping company, while continuing to write.^[2]
