For readers interested in nineteenth-century Catalan literature and the beginnings of naturalism in Catalonia.
Narcís Oller i de Moragas was a Catalan lawyer and novelist who initially wrote in the traditions of literary realism and naturalism, later adapting his style to the Modernisme movement, the Catalan equivalent of Art Nouveau. Despite his stylistic evolution, he is considered one of the leading Catalan authors of the 19th century.
