«La galeria de les estàtues» is the novel by Jesús Moncada, published by RBA La Magrana in paperback (452 pages, in Catalan).
Torrelloba, a town on the banks of the Ebro, November 1957. Student Dalmau Campells and Inspector Melquíades Serrador cross paths with a motorcyclist who brings news decisive for their lives. Set in the postwar period, the novel portrays the misery, fear and deprivation of those years.
Originally published in 1992, this Catalan edition appeared in October 2000 in the Otros La Magrana collection.
It will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction in Catalan and to those who appreciate the literary recreation of the postwar period in the Ebro valley.
Jesús Moncada i Estruga was a narrator and translator. His work is a re-creation, somewhere between realism and fantasy, of the mythical past of the old town of Mequinenza -now submerged beneath the waters of the river Ebro-.
