«Acte de violència» is the novel by Manuel de Pedrolo published by Edicions 62 in paperback (256 pages, in Catalan).
A city wakes up paralysed: an anonymous slogan asks people to stay home and collective obedience empties the streets. The novel explores how a strange solidarity settles among neighbours and opens the possibility of a freedom without violence, although the experiment faces new threats.
It belongs to the El Cangur collection, number 71, from Edicions 62. It won the Prudenci Bertrana Prize in its first edition.
For readers of twentieth-century Catalan narrative and of fictions that examine obedience, resistance and power.
Manuel de Pedrolo i Molina was a Catalan author of novels, short stories, poetry and plays. He is mostly known for his sci-fi novel Mecanoscrit del segon origen.
