«L'escanyapobres» is a short narrative work by Narcís Oller, published by Castellnou Edicions in 2017 in paperback (176 pages, in Catalan).
The edition places L'Escanyapobres within Narcís Oller's project of modernising literature and analyses it as a short, intense piece straddling realism and naturalism. The cover image shows the routine of Oleguer, who waits for buyers outside his warehouse in his usual clothes and silk scarf, while old coins set the scene.
Volume 9 of the Clàssics Catalans collection, adapted by Josep Paré Jiménez.
Aimed at a children's and young adult audience, it serves as an introduction to a classic of Catalan literature.
Narcís Oller i de Moragas was a Catalan lawyer and novelist who initially wrote in the traditions of literary realism and naturalism, later adapting his style to the Modernisme movement, the Catalan equivalent of Art Nouveau. Despite his stylistic evolution, he is considered one of the leading Catalan authors of the 19th century.
