«Les històries naturals (I) i (II)» is the fantasy novel by Joan Perucho, published by El Observador in paperback (198 pages, in Catalan).
Antoni de Montpalau, a rationalist scientist, embarks on an initiatory journey through Catalonia. He crosses paths with a knight turned vampire, with clashes between Carlists and liberals, and with princes, and the experience broadens his enlightened vision: he discovers the poetry of love, mystery, and adventure. The work combines fantasy, mystery, irony, and erudition.
The novel was originally published in 1960; this 1991 edition belongs to the Clàssics Catalans del Segle XX collection (number 28).
For those interested in fantasy and gothic fiction and in twentieth-century Catalan literature.
Joan Perucho Gutiérrez was a Spanish novelist, poet and art critic, an activity that alternated with his profession as a judge. His work, written in Catalan and Spanish mix with other traditional elements of avant-garde and science fiction that endow great originality. Natural Stories is his best known work.
