«El llibre de les mosques» is the novel by Emili Teixidor, published by Cercle de Lectors in hardback (459 pages, in Catalan).
The title alludes to a secret book whose appearance triggers a double plot: the sentimental and professional initiation of a young teacher who ends up guarding it, and the reflections of those who judged serious transgressions documented in it. The novel recreates the tension of four decades, from the Civil War to the beginnings of the Transition.
Published in 2000, the novel won the Premi Sant Jordi 1999.
For readers of Catalan fiction interested in the recent history of Spain, from the Civil War to the Transition.
Emili Teixidor i Viladecàs was a Catalan writer, journalist and pedagogue. He wrote over thirty novels, mainly for children and teenagers, but he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed adult novel, Black Bread, which inspired a film of the same name.
