Eugenio Arriaza

Eugenio Arriaza was a Cuban lawyer and poet born in Havana in the first third of the nineteenth century.

A mediocre poet, he had the odd idea of adapting the novel Don Quixote onto ottava rima (1849) which was received with unanimously bad reviews. He also wrote the better received Law book Ensayo sobre el Origen, Naturaleza y Funcionamiento de los Promotores Fiscales.
