«La plaça del Diamant» is the novel by Mercè Rodoreda, published by Club Editor in paperback (320 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows Natàlia, a young woman from Barcelona whose life changes after meeting a man at a festival in Gràcia: he changes her name and ends up filling her house with pigeons and children. Narrated with apparent innocence, the story becomes charged with anguish as the Civil War approaches, and the figure of Colometa comes to represent anonymous humanity.
It is No. 1 in the Club Editor Jove collection. This revised edition includes an afterword by Maria Barbal, a study by Meritxell Talavera, and a chapter from the first version of the novel.
Ideal for students and for readers who want to approach one of the central works of twentieth-century Catalan literature.
Mercè Rodoreda i Gurguí was a Catalan novelist, who wrote in the Catalan language.
