EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of the second printed edition in Barcelona in 1909 of Narcis Oller's renowned work, "L Escanya Pobre". The Catalan writer's masterpiece, subtitled "estudi d'una Passio" is a powerful exploration of greed and its consequences set against the backdrop of industrialization and contemporary times. The vibrant colors adorning this cover reflect the spirit of Catalonia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Oller's novel, deeply rooted in Catalan literature, combines elements of irony, naturalism, and Italian verismo to create a compelling narrative that resonates with readers even today. As we delve into this literary gem, we are transported to a world where relationships between couples are tested by societal changes brought about by rapid urbanization. Through his masterful storytelling, Oller sheds light on the moral decay caused by insatiable greed and highlights the struggles faced by ordinary people amidst an increasingly materialistic society. It is worth noting that "L Escanya Pobre" was awarded The Renaixensa Award at Jocs Florals for its exceptional contribution to contemporary literature. This recognition solidified Oller's position as one of Catalonia's most esteemed writers. Displayed prominently at Barcelona's Episcopal Public Library, this second edition serves as a testament to Oller Moragas' lasting impact on Catalan literature. Its vertical composition symbolizes not only Western literary traditions but also represents an era when artistry thrived alongside industrial progress. This remarkable
