«Los Argonautas» is the novel by Baltasar Porcel, published in 1990 by Seix Barral in paperback (234 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the crew of the Botafoc, a smuggling launch that sets sail from Gibraltar bound for Mallorca. Between the tension of the crossing and the memories of men marked by war, the narrative portrays a marginal and legendary Mediterranean and a Mallorca far from tourism, with the tone of a fable about human destiny.
The novel was originally published in Catalan as «Els Argonautes» (1968) and received the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or de Novel·la; this Spanish edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection.
Readers of contemporary fiction and novels with a Mediterranean setting and symbolic undertones.
Baltasar Porcel i Pujol was a Spanish writer, journalist and literary critic. His enormous legacy credited him as one of the greatest authors in Catalan literature from the 20th century.
