«Nocturn de primavera» is Josep Pla's satirical novel, published by Destino CAT in 2006 in hardcover (250 pages, in Catalan).
The most important banker in a county capital gathers local dignitaries to celebrate his daughter's wedding; during those hours, disputes over the procession banner, distrust of new money, fears of ruin, conspiracies, and rumors of adultery surface. Pla portrays with irony the pettiness and greed of the bourgeoisie.
The work belongs to the L'Ancora collection and was published in Barcelona; the cover presents it as «un retrat novel·la de la societat catalana».
For readers of Catalan fiction, particularly those who appreciate the ironic portrait of provincial bourgeoisie and the work of Josep Pla.
