His writing, deeply influenced by literary giants, explored pressing social issues and reflected his profound connection to Spanish culture and history. Ibáñez brought a distinctive, energetic voice to Spanish literature, often tackling themes of social injustice and the human condition with unflinching realism.

Publicada en 1902, Cañas y barro es sin duda una de las novelas donde el vigor expresivo de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (1867-1928) alcanza una de sus cotas más altas. Situada en el agreste escenario de la Albufera valenciana, que parece prestar a la obra su poderosa violencia, la obra narra la declinación del humilde clan de los Palomas, encarnada en la figura trágica de su último vástago, Tonet -individuo abúlico y de débil personalidad-. En el conflicto generacional entre abuelo y padre por una parte, esforzados extractores de los magros recursos que ofrece una naturaleza salvaje, y el hijo que rehúye una tradición de trabajo a cambio de una existencia especulativa, se puede advertir un trasunto de las tensiones que latían en una España convulsionada entre dos siglos.
Antes de escribir La barraca, Blasco Ibáñez había participado en mítines y altercados callejeros y había sido condenado en un consejo de guerra a cuatro años de prisión. En marzo de 1898 fue elegido diputado por Cullera en reconocimiento de sus servicios en favor de los oprimidos. La barraca es el alegato de la vida dura e injusta que los habitantes de la huerta valenciana han de soportar frente a los propietarios ociosos de la ciudad.
