ResumoespanolAbordamos la biografia de Fausto Maldonado dividida en cuatro momentos principales que marcan circunstancias personales y tareas sociales diferentes. Las dos primeras podrian englobarse en una, que seria la dedicada a los primeros anos y a su formacion academica, pero realmente lo destacable de esos veintiseis anos es que estuvo de cabrero analfabeto diecinueve y que en siete aprendio a leer llegando a ser el numero uno de su promocion en la carrera de Magisterio en Vitoria. De forma similar, los casi veinte anos siguientes, primero en Almoharin de maestro alcalde y despues como Director del Real Patronato de Las Hurdes, constituyen una segunda epoca dedicada a difundir e implantar en la region extremena las ideas de regeneracion y progreso educativo y social que con tanta rapidez habia asimilado y reinterpretado a traves del estudio, de sus viajes y de las amistades que supo ganarse con el tiempo. EnglishThe biography of Fausto Maldonado is divided into four main moments which mark different personal circumstances and social tasks. The first two can be seen as one era, related to the early years and to his academic training, but what really stands out in those twenty six years is the fact that he was an illiterate goatherd for nineteen and then learnt how to read in seven, going on to be the top student of his year in Teaching in Vitoria. Equally, the next nearly twenty years - in which he was teacher and mayor in Almoharin and then Royal Heritage Director of Las Hurdes - constitute a second era. These years were dedicated to spreading the ideas of regeneration and educational and social progress in this part of Extremadura. These ideas had come to him extremely quickly, being assimilated and reinterpreted through study, travel and the friendships he built in this time
