(Barcelona, 1925-2014) Escritora española. Novelista destacada de la llamada generación de los "niños asombrados", su obra describe el ambiente de la posguerra civil. Ana María Matute se dio a conocer en la escena literaria española con Los Abel (1948), una novela inspirada en la historia bíblica de los hijos de Adán y Eva, en la cual reflejó la atmósfera española inmediatamente posterior a la contienda civil desde el punto de vista de la percepción infantil. Este enfoque se mantuvo constante a lo largo de su primera producción novelística y fue común a otros representantes de su generación.
