Josep Pla’s masterpiece, The Gray Notebook, is one of the most colorful and unusual works in modern literature. In 1918, when Pla was in Barcelona studying law, the Spanish flu broke out, the university shut down, and he went home to his parents in coastal Palafrugell. Aspiring to be a writer, not a lawyer, he resolved to hone his style by keeping a journal. In it he wrote about his family, local characters, visits to cafés; the quips, quarrels, ambitions, and amours of his friends; writers he liked and writers he didn’t; and the long contemplative walks he would take in the countryside under magnificent skies. Returning to Barcelona to complete his studies, Pla kept up his diary, scrutinizing life in the big city with the same unflagging zest and humor. Pla, one of the great Catalan writers, held on to this youthful journal for close to fifty years, reworking and adding to it, until he finally published The Gray Notebook as both the first volume and the capstone of his collected works. It is a beautiful, entrancing, delightful book—at once a distillation of the spirit of youth and the work of a lifetime.

MemÃ2ries

By: Josep M. de Sagarra

En aquestes extraordinàries Memòries, publicades originalment el 1954, Josep M. de Sagarra evoca els orígens de les seves famílies paterna i materna (primera part), i després (en quatre parts més) relata la seva vida d'infantesa i joventut, fins als vint-i-cinc anys. Més enllà de l'interès que tenen com a testimoniatge personal d'un dels autors cabdals de la literatura catalana del segle XX, les Memòries de Sagarra constitueixen un retrat riquíssim, amè i verídic d'un període molt rellevant la vida cultural, social i política a Barcelona: el que ocupa les primeres dècades del segle, fins a la fi de la primera guerra mundial. I, per damunt de tot, es tracta d'un llibre que, encara avui, és un dels grans monuments literaris de la prosa catalana: una obra magistral, d'estil brillant i de lectura apassionant.

El poema de Nadal

By: Josep M. de Sagarra

Quan ve Nadal, la cançó del miracle,amb pessebre de molsa i arboç,ens fa pensar en unes ganes molt vives,ens fa pensar en un desig de debòde donar coses al Noi de la Mare,coses que vinguin de dintre del cor...".El poema de Nadal recupera aquest text clàssic de la literatura catalana i l'enriqueix amb els gravats que Enric C. Ricart (1893-1960) va realitzar per a la primera edició, apareguda el 1931.
