第二時期(1903~1909)的作品題材比較廣阔,采用自然主義或印象主義的手法,描寫社會黑暗,反映勞動人民的痛苦,對統治者和教會的壓迫發出了抗議。作品有《大教堂》(1903)、《闖入者》(1904)、《釀酒廠》(1905)、《遊民》(1905)。
第三時期(1910年以後)的作品題材更為廣泛,其中以第一次世界大戰為背景的《啓示錄的四騎士》(1916)曾風行歐美各國。這一時期的作品還有以美洲為題材的小說《覓尋金羊毛船上的水手們》(1914)、《所有人的土地》(1922)和《卡拉菲婭女王》(1923);描寫戰爭的小說《我們的地中海》(1918)、《女人的仇敵》(1919)、《戰爭故事集》以及探險小說《女人的天堂》(1922)。他的遊記有《一個小說傢的世界之行》(1924)。

伊巴涅斯 - 小說
伊巴涅斯的小說創作基本上可分為三個時期,第一時期(1894一1902)的作品主要描寫作傢故鄉巴倫西亞地區人民的生活和風俗習慣,地方色彩很濃.著名的有寫漁民生活的長篇小說《五月花》,寫農村生活的短篇集《茅屋》,以及寫農村青年愛情的《蘆葦和泥淖》,其中《五月花》,《蘆葦和泥淖》國內已有了譯本出版.第二時期(1903一1909)的作品,題材比較廣泛,用左拉式的自然主義或印象主義的手法,描寫社會黑暗,反映勞動人民的痛苦,對統治者和教會的壓迫發出了抗議.著名的作品有《大教堂》(1903),《闖入者》(1904),《釀酒廠》(1905),《遊民》(1905),《死者的囑咐》(1909)等等.第三個時期(1910年以後)的作品題材更為廣泛,其中以第一次世界大戰為背景的《啓示錄的四騎士》(1916)曾風行歐美各國,
使作者獲得了世界的名譽.
《碧血黃沙》(1908)是伊巴涅斯創作第二個時期的重要作品.在這部長篇小說裏,作傢以充滿同情的敘述筆調,磅礴撼人的氣勢,描繪了西班牙鬥牛士的生活,展示了一幅雄偉生動的西班牙風俗民情的長捲.主人公加拉爾陀從一個孤苦伶仃的小鞋匠成為一個著名的鬥牛大師,被貴族婦人所引
誘,後來又被拋棄,以至在鬥牛場上慘死.作者描寫鬥牛場面生動緊張,動人心魄,同時論述了鬥牛的歷史根源,社會基礎,政治作用,心理影響,判定這種娛樂是一種時代錯誤.在這個以鬥牛加戀愛為主要框架的故事裏,作者藉國傢和小羽毛這兩個人物表達了政治思想,用他們的言行,剖析了當時整個西班牙嚴酷的現實生活.這無疑加深了小說的思想性.但是,作者的政治理想仍然是朦朧抽象的,
國傢的最高政治觀點也衹是"教育救國",象小羽毛這樣拿起刀槍和反動政府英勇鬥爭的"革命者",作者卻安排了一個被自己人暗殺的結局,因此,在表現作者共和主義思想方面,遠遠不如他對於鬥牛場面的精湛描繪.改寫本力圖以最大的可能保持這一方面的特色.儘管對於鬥牛過程的細
膩描寫達到了自然主義式的程度,但對於表現鬥牛是一種野蠻的娛樂這樣的主題,仍然有着不可忽視的積極作用.因此,對於評斷鬥牛業的是非,瞭解它,熟悉它,並在心靈中染上鮮明的印象,就顯得必不可少了.
Born in Valencia, today he is best known in the English-speaking world for his World War I novel Los cuatro jinetes del apocalipsis. Filmed in 1921 as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it was filmed again in 1962, reset in World War II. However, in his time he was a best-selling author inside and outside of Spain, and also known for his controversial political activities. While Sangre y arena (Blood and Sand) and Los cuatro jinetes del apocalipsis are his most popular novels, particularly outside of Spain, his Valencian novels such as La barraca and Cañas y barro are the ones most valued by scholars.
He finished studying law, but hardly practiced. He divided his time between politics, literature and dalliances with women, of whom he was a deep admirer. He wrote with uncanny speed and energy. He was a fan of Miguel de Cervantes.
His life, it can be said, tells a more interesting story than his novels. He was a militant Republican partisan in his youth and founded a newspaper, El Pueblo (translated as either The Town or The People) in his hometown. The newspaper aroused so much controversy that it was brought to court many times and censored. He made many enemies and was shot and almost killed in one dispute. The bullet was caught in the clasp of his belt. He had several stormy love affairs.
He volunteered as the proofreader for the novel Noli Me Tangere, in which the Filipino patriot José Rizal expressed his contempt of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. He travelled to Argentina in 1909 where two new cities, Nueva Valencia and Cervantes, were created. He gave conferences on historical events and Spanish literature. Tired and disgusted with government failures and inaction, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez moved to Paris at the beginning of World War I.
He was a supporter of the Allies in World War I.
His themes include his native Valencia.
He died in Menton, France, in 1928 at the age of 61, in the residence of Fontana Rosa (also named the House of Writers, dedicated to Cervantes, Dickens and Shakespeare) that he built.
