Josep Pla recounts an episode from his youth: with his friend Baldiri he sets sail from Cadaqués on the «Mestral» bound for the Salses pond, in Roussillon, to load the boat with contraband. The journey along the Catalan coast portrays the coastal towns, seafaring life, local cuisine and the emblematic characters of each place.
Originally published in 1954, this 2004 edition is part of the Col·lecció Jove collection, number 127.
Intended for young and adult readers who want to approach the narrative of Josep Pla, a key prose writer of twentieth-century Catalan literature.
