I present to you the Catalan Tolkien

Source Summary

This summer, which many of us have seen as fire ravaged our forests and we are not entirely sure if what we are experiencing is nature becoming unbalanced or, on the contrary, doing its utmost to rebalance itself; this summer, Editorial Barcino has published a new edition of Liliana , by Apel·les Mestres (Barcelona, 1854-1936), and has given us the opportunity to re-evaluate a writer whom we should all know better. Personally, I would swear I had never read anything by him, although I had seen illustrations by him at the MNAC. I delved into his life a few months ago when I was preparing the script for a podcast about classic authors that I present, The back cover . And since then I have been amazed not only by her pen, but also by all that she did well: drawing, painting, writing poetry, theatre, prose and music, translating and giving graphic illustration the artistic category it deserves.
