«L'auca del senyor Esteve» is the modernist novel by Santiago Rusiñol, published by Edicions 62/Orbis in paperback (188 pages, in Catalan).
Esteve, a merchant from the Barcelona district of La Ribera, embodies bourgeois values; his son Ramonet prefers to devote himself to art rather than inherit the business. The novel pits both attitudes against each other and, in 27 chapters, portrays the customs and the tension between the mercantile mindset and modernism in Barcelona at the time.
Work originally published in 1907, with drawings by Ramon Casas and rodolins by Gabriel Alomar.
For students of Catalan literature and readers interested in modernism and early 20th-century Barcelona.
Santiago Rusiñol i Prats was a Spanish painter, poet, journalist, collector and playwright. He was one of the leaders of the Catalan modernisme movement. He created more than a thousand paintings and wrote numerous works in Spanish and Catalan.
