«Pa negre» is Emili Teixidor's coming-of-age novel, published by La Butxaca in paperback (396 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows Andreu, a boy from the Plana de Vic, in the Spanish postwar period: his father is imprisoned for his republican ideas and his mother sends him to a farmhouse with relatives. There he discovers the adult world, friendship and fear, in a rural portrait marked by love, hate, resentment, revenge and hypocrisy.
Originally published in 2003, the work received the National Literature Prize 2004, the Joan Crexells Prize, the Lletra d'Or Prize and the Maria Àngels Anglada Narrative Prize.
For readers of historical and coming-of-age fiction interested in rural postwar Catalonia and the memory of the civil war.
Emili Teixidor i Viladecàs was a Catalan writer, journalist and pedagogue. He wrote over thirty novels, mainly for children and teenagers, but he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed adult novel, Black Bread, which inspired a film of the same name.
