Josep Pla o la vitalitat

For more than sixty years - from 1920, when he became a correspondent in Paris, until his death in 1981 - Josep Pla maintained a very intense literary activity, which translated into thousands of articles. journalism and a huge amount of books. One of the most remarkable facts of this activity is that, in the so changing circumstances in which it took place, it did not stop always obtaining a great success of public, that still today maintains; it was also always accompanied by controversy, and still accompanies it. This, of course, is not the result of chance, but the result of a deliberate choice by Josep Pla to give way to his graphomania. The literary biography of Xavier Febrés -one of the most veteran, most informed and most enjoyable scholars of Pla- follows the stylistic evolution of the planian work, highlights its virtues without hiding its shadows and orients readers towards his most memorable moments.
