Mercè Rodoreda i el seu temps

Mercè Rodoreda, the capital author of Catalan letters and the most translated of all time, lived between 1908 and 1983, years that range from the sadly famous Tragic Week in Barcelona to the two world wars, both Spanish dictatorships, the zenith and the nadir of Catalonia, a civil war and its consequences, the Catalan exile, of which she was a part. And in the midst of a turbulent century, we find the lonely girl from the Sant Gervasi neighborhood, the teenager who marries an uncle, the woman with a complex and "modern" personality who enters the literary circles of Barcelona in the 1930s , who goes into exile and lives passionate loves. We find the author of La plaça del Diamant, Mirall trencat, La meva Cristina i altres contes.
