Early life
Early life
Rubén Bareiro Saguier was born and grew up in Villeta, Paraguay. At the age of 11, he learned of the injustice of living in an authoritarian regime when the police, after looking for his father and failing to find him, took the young Rubén and imprisoned him in the town's police station. In 1947, Bareiro Saguier received his school baccalaureate and began studying literature at the Universidad Nacional de Asunción. He stood out as a student leader, something which cost him further imprisonment. He received a bachelor's degree in literature in 1957. In 1962 he received a grant to study at the Universidad Paúl Valéry-Montpellier III, for which purpose he moved to France.
Career
Career
Bareiro Saguier began his literary career writing poems. In 1964 he published his first book, Biografía de ausente (Biography of an Absentee). In France, he worked as an assistant and Spanish teacher at the University of Paris, and then as a professor of Hispanic American literature and Guaraní language at the University of Vincennes. He was also part of the National Center of Scientific Investigation in Paris. With the publication of Ojo por diente in 1971, he received the Cuban prize "Casa de las Américas". Because of this prize, the following year on one of his numerous visits to Paraguay he was arrested and locked up for a month and a half in the infamous Department of Investigations, at the center of the repression under the regime of Alfredo Stroessner, accused of promoting "rebellious bustle". Immediately intellectuals from around the world mobilized to demand Bareiro Seguier's liberation, including individuals such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Gabriel García Márquez, Simone de Beauvoir and Fernando Savater. Finally, he was released and expelled from the country, sentenced to an exile which lasted until the fall of the dictatorship in 1989.
