Roberto Payró : Born in Mercedes in 1867, time in which this city was still in the border with indians. He was journalist for forty years. His work is very focused on social behaviour, with his lively style he usually hurts many different characters. The book Mar Dulce was published in 1927, just a year before his death in 1928.
