«Nocturno de primavera» is Josep Pla's satirical novel, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (237 pages, in Spanish).
At the home of the chief banker of a county capital, a party to celebrate his daughter's wedding brings together the city's leading figures. During the evening, tensions surface: the prosperous electrician, the Corpus insignia, the brother who fears ruin, and the rumor of infidelity. With irony close to sarcasm, Pla portrays miseries and greed.
It belongs to Destino's Áncora & Delfin collection (no. 1049). This paperback edition, published in February 2006, is the first Spanish translation of the novel.
For readers of contemporary fiction and for those who want to discover Josep Pla, one of the great Catalan-language prose writers of the 20th century.
