Terres de l'Ebre

The publication of Terres de l'Ebre in 1932 produced a strong impact among the readers of the time, due to the tragic force of the story, the literary power of the text and the discovery of peasant life on the banks of the Ebro . Arbó's great novel, the most stripped-down and emotional, raises the great universal themes - love, death, friendship, social inequalities, the struggle for subsistence - from a story with testimonial that embraces three generations of a family of farmers from the Delta trying to conquer a harsh land.
