«La febre d'or II» is the second part of the novel by Narcís Oller i Moragas, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
The narrative portrays the Barcelona bourgeoisie of the late nineteenth century, whose economic and social power grows with the stock-market speculation of the 1880s. Through the characters, it shows the consequences of that gold fever in Catalan society and bears witness to a historical moment.
