«El quadern gris» is the diary of Josep Pla, published by labutxaca in paperback (752 pages, in Catalan).
In his early twenties, Josep Pla abandons his medical studies and enrols in law, though he prefers to learn at the Ateneo and in the circles of noucentista Barcelona. In these pages he portrays the rural Empordà he comes from and the society of his time, and notes the concerns that shape his personality.
It is the first volume of the series «Obra completa (Destino)» and won the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or for prose in 1967.
For readers of Catalan literature and memoirs, and for those who want to see Josep Pla's formation between the Empordà and noucentista Barcelona.
Josep Pla i Casadevall was a Spanish journalist and a popular author. As a journalist he worked in France, Italy, Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union, from where he wrote political and cultural chronicles in Catalan and Spanish.
