«Bearn o la sala de les nines» is the novel by Llorenç Villalonga, published by Club Editor 1959 in paperback (274 pages, in Catalan).
The novel portrays the decline of Mallorcan aristocracy through don Toni and Maria Antònia Bearn, a married couple of cousins living in an old family estate. The priest don Joan, narrator of the story, evokes their life, their travels to Paris and Rome, and the twilight of their lineage, in a melancholy satire on tradition, social change, and morality.
Work written in 1956 and published in Catalan in 1961; this edition belongs to the Club Editor Jove collection (number 50) and includes in an appendix the full epilogue that Villalonga shortened.
Classic of contemporary Catalan literature and frequent reading in secondary education, for those seeking a novel of social and moral analysis.
