«Diccionari per a ociosos (I)» is the dictionary by Joan Fuster, published by El Observador in 1991 (173 pages, in Catalan).
The volume is structured as an unconventional dictionary: starting from words and concepts, Joan Fuster offers personal reflections that invite the reader to intellectual leisure. Rather than defining, the author proposes pausing over each term, thinking calmly, and discovering one's own perspective on language, far from the usual manuals.
It belongs to the collection Clàssics Catalans del segle XX, of which it is number 64, a series published in Barcelona.
For readers interested in Catalan literature and the work of Joan Fuster.
Joan Fuster i Ortells was an influential Catalan writer. He is considered a major writer in the Valencian language, and his work contributed to reinvigorate left-wing, pro-Catalan nationalism in Valencia during the Spanish transition to democracy. In his influential political essay Nosaltres, els valencians (1962) he coined the term Països Catalans to refer to the Catalan-speaking territories.
