El dia de l'ós

"El dia de l'ós" is the novel that made Joan-Lluís Lluís one of the most loved and read writers in Catalan literature. In 2004, he surprised a generation fascinated by fantasy and science fiction. With twenty years of perspective, it is claimed by Irene Solà, Marina Espasa, Ramon Mas and Anna Ballbona as an inspiring work and among the most important of the new century. Its setting is Prats de Molló, a town closed to the world due to the double protection of walls and ancient legends. Where the return of a beast extinct centuries ago is feared, and where Bernadette Boher returns after eight years of banishment. His mother committed suicide and that means his body will be judged and mocked. But the festival of the bear is approaching, an opportunity to give way to repressed instincts. And the beast has returned to Vallespir.
