«El misántropo» is the novel by Spanish writer Llorenç Villalonga, published in 1983 by Plaza&Janés in paperback (576 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows a man who decides to withdraw from the world and views society with a critical, disillusioned eye. The narrative addresses solitude, lack of communication, and the search for meaning in a chaotic and superficial environment. With a strong autobiographical component, the work reviews intellectual and political circles and university youth.
On the cover, with a black-and-white illustration, the work is presented as the last great novel by the author of «Bearn».
Llorenç Villalonga i Pons was a Balearic writer and psychiatrist. While he progressed in his medicine studies, Villalonga traveled to France, Barcelona and Murcia. He gained experience in psychiatry during his stay in France.
