Considered the first modernist novel in Catalan literature, this work draws on symbolism, decadentism, and the fin-de-siècle crisis. It narrates the failure of an intellectual who tries to regenerate rural society and, at the same time, opens Catalan narrative towards the roots of the individual, their will, and their capacity to act on their own.
Work originally published in 1901; the critical edition by Jordi Castellanos is the first volume of the Lectures de literatura catalana collection.
