Ens ha deixat Ángel Cazorla Olmo, nascut a Santa Cruz de Marchena, província d''Almeria, el 1930, una persona amb una rica història personal i una extensa carrera literària.
Amb només set anys, va començar a escriure contes que després intercanviava amb altres infants per altres objectes. Als catorze anys, va abandonar l'escola i un any més tard va migrar a Terrassa, on va començar a treballar en una fàbrica.
Ángel Cazorla Olmo, born in Santa Cruz de Marchena, province of Almería, in 1930, has left us, a person with a rich personal history and an extensive literary career.
At just seven years old, he began writing stories that he would later exchange with other children for other objects. At fourteen, he left school and a year later migrated to Terrassa, where he began working in a factory.
His passion for reading and his desire to write came true in 1952, when a friend suggested that he write a chapter of a western novel. It was then that he rented a typewriter and began writing popular literature with the authorship of the so-called hardcover novels, texts with just over a hundred pages in low-cost editions.
It was then that he adopted the pseudonym Kent Wilson, as it was a more suitable name for a western author, and began publishing with Ediciones Bruguera and later with Editorial Toray. Between 1952 and 1958 he published titles such as ¡Trabaja Sepulturero!, El hombre de Nueva Orleans, El Libertador, La Hora de la Venganza, Locos del Espacio, La Llave, Espías en Nueva York or Un novio para Terry. Apart from westerns, he also ventured into other genres such as detective novels, romance, science fiction or the war genre.
In 1958 he emigrated to Belgium to graduate in English and French, attending night classes while, during the day, working as a construction laborer. Two years later he returned to Terrassa and dedicated himself to working as a translator while traveling around the world as a sales executive for a major textile company from Terrassa.
But Cazorla's literary maturity comes with the two great novels he wrote: El Pan y la Tierra and Crónica de una Herencia. El pan y la tierra is a rural drama written by Cazorla in 1959 during his stay in Leuven (Belgium). The action is set in Santa Cruz de Marchena, the author's native town, at the beginning of the 20th century, and narrates the hard and austere life of a family of vine growers where the repressive and dominant figure of the father, with the land as his only goal, confronts his children, who seek freedom through the paths of love and the will to migrate in order to escape the restrained, contained and hypocritical society. The parallel stories, the description of the characters, daily life and customs become a clear example of the rural world in Santa Cruz.
The author himself was responsible for making a radio adaptation of the novel that the Quadre de Veus de Radioteatre recorded in 1986 and which was broadcast, obtaining a great response.
Apart from the novel, Angel Cazorla's other great literary passion was poetry, where Sonetos al Hombre y el Viento y la Memoria stand out.

We regret to announce the death of our colleague Ismael Majó, at the age of 59.
In addition to being one of the most common voices in our cast, Ismael was also the author of some of the radio adaptations and director of some of our stage productions on the airwaves.
He began his theatrical career at only 17 years old as an actor on stage at the Sant Pere de Terrassa Parish Center, and two years later, he became part of our Voice Cast, then at Ràdio Terrassa - SER Vallès. He also directed several stage plays, one of them of his own creation, and even worked as a television presenter on TV20 for two years.
Among the most representative works in which he has participated, stand out "El proceso de Oscar Wilde", "El zoológico de cristal" or "Llama un inspector", among others.
In 2010, he took on the role of co-director of the cast together with Joan Garrigó, a task he carried out for almost five years. During this period, the adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" belongs, where he also voices the narrator of the story. Precisely, this work will soon be restored to pay him the tribute he deserves.
Rest in peace, dear Ismael.
