Considered the first Catalan modernist novel, it combines European symbolism and decadentism with the social and political crisis at the turn of the century and the rise of Catalanism. It addresses the failure of the intellectual who seeks to regenerate society and advocates a return to the individual's roots, their will and their actions as a path to collective progress.
