«L'auca del senyor Esteve» is the modernist novel by Santiago Rusiñol, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (136 pages, in Catalan).
A modernist novel set in the Barcelona neighborhood of La Ribera that follows the life of l'Esteve, from his birth to his consolidation as a model merchant; his figure embodies the values of the Catalan bourgeoisie (order, moderation, perseverance). The conflict with his son Ramonet, who prefers to be an artist rather than inherit the business, centers the debate between artistic creation and society.
The work was originally published in 1907 and is part of the Butxaca collection; the text is structured in 27 chapters divided into three parts: «L'Estevet», «L'Esteve» and «El senyor Esteve».
Suitable for students and for readers interested in Catalan modernism and in twentieth-century classics.
