«Jubileu» is the short story collection by Víctor Català, published by Arola Editors in 2005, in paperback (279 pages, in Catalan).
Jubileu, originally published in 1951, is the last collection of short stories published by Víctor Català. The volume preserves Víctor Català's recognizable narrative register, as in «L’Aleixeta», and renews the settings with a more explicit feminist discourse.
This 2005 edition is part of the Biblioteca catalana d’Arola Editors series, volume 22, and includes the introductory study by Carles Cortès and bibliographic references (pp. 43-44).
For readers of Catalan fiction interested in the work of Víctor Català and in short stories with a feminist perspective.
Caterina Albert i Paradís, better known by her pen name Víctor Català, was a Catalan writer in Catalan and Spanish who participated in the Modernisme movement and was the author of one of the signature works of the genre, Solitud (Solitude) (1905). Her literary skill was first recognized in 1898, when she received the Jocs Florals prize; soon thereafter, she began using the pseudonym Victor Català, taking it from the protagonist of a novel she never finished. Despite her success as a dramatist and her forays into poetry, she is best known for her work in narrative literature, with the force of her style and the richness of her diction being especially noted. She died in her hometown of l’Escala, Catalonia, in 1966 and is interred in the Cementiri Vell de l’Escala.
