Mosaic de tardor

Josep Vallverdú, who will be 100 years old on July 9, contributes to the Vallverdú Year an exceptional memorial volume that covers the last two decades of an active maturity full of curiosity. The writer who has captivated generations of young readers with immortal novels such as Rovelló, En Roc drapaire or L'home dels gats displays a great activity. Vallverdú explains the loss of his wife, the move away from Lleida and the search for a new house where he will live with his new companion. "The Man of the West", as Josep M. Espinàs called him, sees how he finally receives the highest recognition for an activity full of cultural ambition and with an enviable connection with young readers.
