[[File:Porfirio Diaz.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Porfirio Díaz]], president of Mexico.]]
Federico Gamboa is well known as one of the most representative Mexican novelist of [[Porfirio Díaz]] regime; José Emilio Pacheco pointed out that Gamboa was «a geographic anomaly that found its place in the Porfirian society».{{sfn|Pacheco|1977|p=}} Gamboa was, primarily, a man that searched for a good life from that time as the end of his life. For the writer and diplomat, being part of Porfirio Díaz government was more than a chance event: it was for him an inevitable destiny; however, reality of the [[Mexican Revolution]] changed his destiny. Porfirio Díaz left office on May 1911 and Gamboa received him in [[Europe]] and was able to keep his diplomatic post as Ambassador in [[Holland]]. During [[Victoriano Huerta]] presidency was invited to lead the [[Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (Mexico)|Secretariat of Foreign Affais]]; he lead the Secretariat for fourty four days and then left to run for president, but lost against Huerta. His return to México marked then Gamboa's end of his good life as public servant.{{sfn|Pacheco|1977|p=}} Furthermore, during [[Venustiano Carranza]] presidency, Gamboa had to leave Mexico along with his wife María Sagaseta and his only child, going first to the [[United States]] and then to [[La Habana]], [[Cuba]], from 1914 to 1919.{{sfn|Pacheco|1977|p=}}

Federico Gamboa Iglesias (22 December 1864 – 15 August 1939)[1] was a writer and diplomat from Mexico. He has been considered as one of the top representatives of Naturalism in México.[2] Gamboa wrote novels, theater pieces, articles for newspapers and magazines and an autobiography when he was 28 years old. For many years he took notes of his travels, experiences and thoughts, which he later published as five diaries. Posthumously another two volumes of his diaries were published.

Life as a Mexican diplomat

Federico Gamboa was born and died in Mexico City. He studied to become a notary in the National School of Law, but both of his parents died and he was forced to drop out and start working in 1884. He began as an assistant in a Civil Court and also began on his journalist career. In El Diario del Hogar newspaper he had a regular article called Desde mi mesa (From my table), which he signed as «La Corcadiere». Even though he was doing well for himself, he was not satisfied and joined the public service.

After passing all the tests, he joined the Mexican Foreign Affairs Service as second secretary on 9 October 1888. Gamboa was 24 years old when he was sent to Guatemala; afterwards he worked for the Mexican Embassy in Argentina. From 12 August to 24 September 1913 he was the Secretary of Foreign Affairs but he ended his diplomatic career after only forty four days to run for President, along with general Eugenio Rascón as vicepresident, for the National Catholic Party on 26 October 1913. He lost to Victoriano Huerta and Aureliano Blanquet.

Porfiriato

Porfirio Díaz, president of Mexico.

Federico Gamboa is well known as one of the most representative Mexican novelist of Porfirio Díaz regime; José Emilio Pacheco pointed out that Gamboa was «a geographic anomaly that found its place in the Porfirian society».[3] Gamboa was, primarily, a man that searched for a good life from that time as the end of his life. For the writer and diplomat, being part of Porfirio Díaz government was more than a chance event: it was for him an inevitable destiny. However, the reality of the Mexican Revolution changed his destiny. Porfirio Díaz left office in May 1911 and Gamboa received him in Europe and was able to keep his diplomatic post as ambassador in the Netherlands. During the Victoriano Huerta presidency he was invited to lead the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs; he led the Secretariat for forty-four days and then left to run for president, but lost against Huerta. His return to México marked the end of Gamboa's good life as a public servant.[3] Furthermore, during Venustiano Carranza presidency, Gamboa had to leave Mexico along with his wife María Sagaseta and his only child, going first to the United States and then to La Habana, Cuba, from 1914 to 1919.[3]
