«Les històries naturals» is the Gothic novel by Joan Perucho, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (248 pages, in Catalan).
A cultured novel with the spirit of popular storytelling: it combines adventure and vampirism with an ironic, erudite look at nineteenth-century Catalonia, its Enlightenment sciences and the Carlist wars. The skeptical naturalist Antoni de Montpalau pursues Onofre de Dip, a knight of James I turned vampire, through the Maestrat and Berguedà regions.
Joan Perucho's second novel, originally published in 1960. This special edition includes a prologue by Julià Guillamon and belongs to the El Balancí collection.
For readers of Gothic, historical and vampire fiction, and for those who want to discover a modern classic of Catalan narrative.
Joan Perucho Gutiérrez was a Spanish novelist, poet and art critic, an activity that alternated with his profession as a judge.
