Turn-of-the-Century Barcelona comes to life in this rediscovered classic from one of Catalan's most beloved female authors.

About the Author

Victor Català was the pseudonym of the novelist and short story writer, Caterina Albert (1869-1966). Her early works--especially Solitude--were representative of the Modernist movement in Spain and reflected her interest in writing about rural settings. As trends changed, she incorporated more elements of cinema and civic concern into her writings, most notably in A Film, first published in Catalan 1926. Peter Bush is an award-winning translator who lives in Barcelona. His translations include Juan Goytisolo's Níjar Country, Teresa Solana's A Shortcut to Paradise, Alain Badiou's In Praise of Love, Josep Pla's The Gray Notebook, and several collections by Quim Monzó, among many others.
