Gálvez was a prolific writer whose works covered a number of styles and genres. As a novelist his works included *La sombra del convento*, *El cántico espiritual*, *Miércoles Santo*, *La tragedia de un hombre fuerte*, *La noche toca a su fin y Cautiverio*, *La muerte en las calles* (1949\), *Nacha Regules* (1919\) and *Historia de arrabal* (1923\), the latter two works proving his most widely celebrated.[Manuel Gálvez](http://www.biografiasyvidas.com/biografia/g/galvez_manuel.htm) He was a literary prize winner for both *Los caminos de la muerte* (1928\) and *El general Quiroga* (1932\). His theatrical works include *El hombre de los ojos azules* (1928\) and *Calibán* (1943\).

Gálvez was nominated five times unsuccessfully for the Nobel Prize for Literature: 1932 (loss to [John Galsworthy](/wiki/John_Galsworthy "John Galsworthy")), 1933 (loss to [Ivan Bunin](/wiki/Ivan_Bunin "Ivan Bunin")), 1934 (loss to [Luigi Pirandello](/wiki/Luigi_Pirandello "Luigi Pirandello")), 1951 (loss to [Pär Lagerkvist](/wiki/P%C3%A4r_Lagerkvist "Pär Lagerkvist")), and 1952 (loss to [François Mauriac](/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Mauriac "François Mauriac")). He became mildly notorious in Argentine literary circles for what was taken to be unseemly lobbying for the Prize.

His volume of work increased significantly in the 1950s, as he wrote *Tiempo de odio y angustia* (1951\), *Han tocado a degüello (1840–1842\)* (1951\), *Bajo la garra anglo\-francesa* (1953\), *Y así cayó Don Juan Manuel* (1954\), *Las dos vidas del pobre Napoleón* (1954\), *El uno y la multitud* (1955\), *Tránsito Guzmán* (1956\), *Poemas para la recién llegada* (1957\), *Perdido en su noche* (1958\), *Recuerdos de la vida literaria* (1961\), *Me mataron entre todos* (1962\) and *La locura de ser santo* (1967\) amongst others.

His first poetic work was 1907's *El enigma interior*, followed in 1909 by the similar *Sendero de humildad*. He was the art critic of *[Nostros](/wiki/Nosotros_%28magazine%29 "Nosotros (magazine)")*, a cultural magazine. As an essayist, polemicist and critic he published *El solar de la raza* (1913\), *La vida múltiple* (1916\), *Amigos y maestros de mi juventud* (1944\) and *El novelista y las novelas* (1959\) as well as biographies of such historic figures as [Domingo Faustino Sarmiento](/wiki/Domingo_Faustino_Sarmiento "Domingo Faustino Sarmiento"), [Hipólito Yrigoyen](/wiki/Hip%C3%B3lito_Yrigoyen "Hipólito Yrigoyen") and [Gabriel García Moreno](/wiki/Gabriel_Garc%C3%ADa_Moreno "Gabriel García Moreno").
