«Acte de violència» is the novel by Manuel de Pedrolo, published by Grans Exits in hardcover and in Catalan.
In an unnamed city, an anonymous slogan calls an indefinite strike and residents stay home; transport, commerce and industry grind to a halt. The novel explores resistance against oppression, solidarity and the limits of violence, and questions how far collective action can go.
Winner of the Prudenci Bertrana Prize and censored under Francoism, this edition dates from 1995.
For readers interested in Catalan fiction, social novels and stories about collective resistance and oppression.
Manuel de Pedrolo i Molina was a Catalan author of novels, short stories, poetry and plays. He is mostly known for his sci-fi novel Mecanoscrit del segon origen.
