Les bèsties i la pols

The science fiction of Josep Albanell, which we can now read gathered in the selection of this volume, starts from the dystopian nightmare of the nuclear holocaust of the classics of the fifties, continues with the irony about technological subsidence, broadens horizons with the irruption of the new stimuli of the sixties, admits the allegorical contact with the inexplicable, and ends with serious, mature reflections on the human condition faced with the incomprehensible, always with imaginative and vindictive prose, always with a taste for language and for the images it allows to create.
