«L'escanyapobres» is the naturalist novel by Narcís Oller, published by Sàpiens in paperback (95 pages, in Catalan).
The novel, set in the 19th century, portrays the greed of the couple formed by Tuies and Oleguer during the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society. The novel is written with a raw, unsentimental gaze, and shows the influence of naturalism on characters doomed to a marked fate.
The work was originally published in 1884; this Catalan edition, from 2005, belongs to the Biblioteca Bàsica d'El Periódico collection.
It is suitable reading for those who enjoy classic Catalan narrative and 19th-century naturalism.
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.
