«Bestiaris» is an anthology of texts by Prudenci Bertrana, Josep Carner and Pere Quart, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (128 pages, in Catalan).
Bestiaris brings together a sample of the Catalan tradition of the bestiary, a genre with medieval roots that uses animals to satirize the contemporary world. The selection includes El Bestiari (1937) by Pere Quart, considered a landmark of this vein for its irony and wit in describing the fauna around us.
Bestiaris was published on 22 May 1989 in Barcelona and is part of the El Garbell collection, where it is number 27. The selection and introductory study are by Llorenç Soldevila.
A work for a general audience interested in Catalan literature and in the bestiary genre as a satirical vehicle.
Joan Oliver i Sallarès, also known by his pseudonym Pere Quart, was a Catalan poet, playwright, literary manager, translator, narrator, and journalist. He is considered one of the most important twentieth-century writers of Catalonia.
