«Els sots feréstecs» is the modernist novel by Raimon Casellas, published by Laia in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
Mossèn Llàtzer, a priest exiled to a rural parish, tries to regenerate distrustful and greedy peasants; his failure contrasts with the success that the prostitute Roda-soques achieves among the people. It is considered the first novel of Catalan modernism and raises the failure of the intellectual against a closed rural society.
