«Llibre de les dones» is a classic work of medieval Catalan literature by Jaume Roig, published by Laertes in paperback (188 pages, in Catalan).
A medieval work also known as «L’Espill»: in autobiographical form, a man expelled by his mother wanders through Catalonia and France and endures four failed marriages. It is a misogynistic satire, considered a precursor to the Castilian picaresque, and a portrait of 15th-century Valencian bourgeoisie.
This edition, edited by Jordi Tiñena, is a modernized prosification with introduction, notes, and fragments of the original; it is volume 2 of the collection «Lectures i itineraris».
A volume intended for secondary school students and any reader who wants to approach the classics of Catalan literature with an accessible edition.
Jaume Roig was a doctor in the city of València and the author of Espill (Mirror), a work of medieval literature in the Valencian/Catalan language. Together with Ausiàs March, and Isabel de Villena, Jaume Roig is one of the three writers chosen by Henry W. Longfellow to summarise the literature of the 15th century in the Catalan language.
