La fam is a six-episode drama that takes us into a realistic drama full of big ideals and centered in the turbulent times of the big socialist revolutions. It's a work that I recommend to read to all theater play lovers, but like all theater plays is always better to see it represented, which is how these texts really are designed.
La fam, de Joan Oliver, es una de las obras más importantes del teatro en lengua catalana. Un drama de seis episodios que nos adentra de manera realista y dramática una historia centrada los dramas de una época convulsa y llena de grandes ideales y revoluciones socialistas. Es una obra que recomiendo leer a los amantes del teatro, pero como todas las obras de teatro, siempre es mejor verla representada, que es como realmente están concebidos estos textos. ...more

"Modernet de Merda" is an unpretentious book and that's exactly what I like about it. It's a book to laugh at yourself and our society, especially the Barcelona society with all its "hipsters", "modernity" and " aesthetic without content". It's a book easy to read and a great portrait of the "Barcelona hipster" stereotype.
Spanish version: Éste es un libro de aquellos que no pasará a la historia por su gran calidad literaria, por sus reflexiones ni tampoco por su increíble historia, Modernet de Merda es un libro sin pretensiones y eso es justamente lo que más me gusta de él. Es un libro para reírse de uno mismo y reírse de una sociedad y en concreto de una Barcelona plegada de "modernez", "estética vacía" y mucho "fantasma". Es un libro de lectura fácil y un retrato genial de estereotipo de "moderno de Barcelona". ...more

I read this book when I was in high school and frankly I found it very, very heavy. Pla is an author with a prodigious language domain but in my opinion he stops too much in descriptions. He can write a whole page only to describe the color and texture of a stone that the main character has found in the path.
Spanish version: Josep Pla es uno de los autores referentes de la literatura catalana. Leí este libro cuando estaba en el instituto y sinceramente lo encontré muy pesado. Pla es un autor con un dominio del lenguaje prodigioso pero para mí gusto se detiene demasiado en las descripciones, puede dedicar una página entera solo para describir el color y la textura de la piedra el protagonista se encuentra en el camino. ...more

Tirant lo blanc es un libro de caballería extremadamente ameno teniendo en cuanta que se escribió en 1490 y uno de los referentes en lengua catalana que todo el mundo que quiera aprender de su extensa obra literaria debería leer. ...more
