This book explores the lesser-known side of Pere Calders (1912-1994), a key figure in literary modernity, revealing his work as an advertising illustrator, cover designer, and creator of encyclopedia engravings. Through extensive research, critic Julià Guillamon connects the author's literary work with his prolific graphic production, offering a comprehensive view of his creativity.
The work is part of the effort to recover Catalan cultural memory carried out by Guillamon, who analyzes how the technical utopias and human fatality present in Calders' stories and novels are also reflected in his illustrations. It is an essential volume for understanding the multifaceted career of one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.
