Ambientada en Lisboa en 1938, bajo la opresiva dictadura de Salazar, 'Afirma Pereira' narra la historia de Pereira, un periodista de sucesos que es designado para dirigir la página cultural de un periódico. En busca de un colaborador, contacta con Monteiro Rossi, un joven comprometido con la vida. La relación entre Pereira, Monteiro y su novia Marta desencadena una crisis personal y una toma de conciencia que transformará la vida de Pereira. Esta edición en catalán, titulada 'Afirma Pereira.: Un testimoni (El Balancí)', es una traducción de Xavier Riu y forma parte de la colección 'El Balancí'. La novela explora temas de compromiso político, responsabilidad individual y la lucha contra la opresión en un contexto histórico turbulento.
Antonio Tabucchi was an Italian writer and academic who taught Portuguese language and literature at the University of Siena, Italy. Deeply in love with Portugal, he was an expert, critic and translator of the works of Fernando Pessoa from whom he drew the conceptions of saudade, of fiction and of the heteronyms. Tabucchi was first introduced to Pessoa's works in the 1960s when attending the Sorbonne. He was so charmed that when he returned to Italy, he took an introductory course in Portuguese for a better comprehension of the poet.
