Born in Barcelona in 1882, Eugeni d'Ors initiated himself in the modernist literary environments. He participated in his younger years, between nineteen and twenty-five years, in this aesthetic. He studied law in Barcelona and received his PhD degree in Madrid.
A "hard-line fascist," he had both leftist and rightist friends among intellectuals and politicians, and got prisoners from the Second Spanish Republic released from Franco-era concentration camps.[2]
He was the father of the noted Spanish jurist, historian and political theorist, Álvaro d'Ors, and the grandfather of Juan d'Ors.
