«Els argonautes» is the modern and contemporary fiction novel by Baltasar Porcel, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (264 pages, in Catalan).
The narrative follows the Botafoc, a launch loaded with contraband covering the route between Gibraltar and Mallorca under the command of Lleonard Juvera, an ambitious and violent man tormented by the civil war and a broken love. A crew of characters with postwar pasts, exile and failure composes a tale of the sea, brutality and lyricism.
This 1979 edition belongs to the El Cangur collection (number 48) of Edicions 62. The work received the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or de Novel·la.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Catalan narrative, interested in stories of the sea, adventure and characters with a past.
Baltasar Porcel i Pujol was a Spanish writer, journalist and literary critic. His enormous legacy credited him as one of the greatest authors in Catalan literature from the 20th century.
