Timeline

1889

Later on, she moved to United States, where she married the French count, Raphäel de Saint-Phalle y Chabannes (1889–1969), with whom she had a daughter, Brigitte.

1910

María Luisa Bombal Anthes (Viña del Mar, 8 June 1910 – 6 May 1980) was a Chilean novelist and poet.

Her work incorporates erotic, surrealist, and feminist themes.

She was a recipient of the Santiago Municipal Literature Award.

María Luisa was born in 1910 to Martín Bombal Videla and Blanca Anthes Precht.

As a child, Bombal attended the Catholic girls school Colegio de los Sagrados Corazones in Santiago.

1919

After her father's death in 1919, Bombal went with her mother and sisters to live in Paris, where she finished her studies at the Lycée privé Sainte-Geneviève.

Bombal enrolled at the University of Paris, where she studied literature and philosophy.

She also attended the Lycée La Bruyère and the Sorbonne, where she began to write.

1931

After Bombal completed her university studies, she returned to Chile in 1931, where she reunited with her family.

Bombal also studied violin with Jacques Thibaud and drama with Charles Dolan.

Upon her return to South America from Paris in 1931 she had an intense romance with a pioneer in civil aviation, Eulogio Sánchez Errázuriz (1903–1956), who did not share her interest in literature.

Sánchez would later distance himself from Bombal, causing her to suffer from depression; after Sánchez stopped responding to her letters, she attempted suicide by shooting herself during a social gathering at his apartment.

1933

In 1933, she married the homosexual painter Jorge Larco (1897–1967), forming with him a lavender marriage.

With the help of friends, Bombal fled the country to Argentina, where in 1933 she met Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda in Buenos Aires.

1937

In 1937 she returned to Chile due to the beginning of a divorce trial.

1938

In 1938 Bombal published La amortajada, which earned her the Santiago Municipal Literature Award in 1941.

While living in the United States, she wrote a novel in English, The House of Mist, which was a translation and extensive readaptation of her Spanish-language novel La última niebla.

The House of Mist was later translated into Spanish by Lucía Guerra.

1941

In January 1941 she acquired a revolver, went to the Hotel Crillón in Santiago and waited for Eulogio Sánchez, who almost did not remember her after not seeing her for eight years.

When Bombal saw him, she shot him three times in the arm.

She went to trial; however, Sánchez exempted her from all guilt, for which the judge acquitted her.

Years later, on María Luisa's own words, she said that he ruined her life, however, she never forgot him.

1971

She returned to South America in 1971; living first in Argentina (helped by Pablo Neruda, who was also living there), where she met important men of letters, and then in Viña del Mar, Chile.

1976

There, on 18 September 1976, Bombal again met Jorge Luis Borges.

Bombal lived her final years in Chile.

She became an alcoholic, which led to cirrhosis.

1980

Bombal died on May 6, 1980, in Santiago, as a result of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Bombal wrote distinctly for her male and female characters.

Bombal viewed femininity as a symbol of uniqueness; more related to nature, emotions and intuition; very different from how she depicts masculinity, where men are described as stronger and wiser, at the moment of facing problems.
