«Pa negre» is the contemporary fiction novel by Emili Teixidor, published by Columna CAT in paperback (400 pages, in Catalan).
In rural post-war Catalonia, Andreu, a boy from the Plana de Vic, is among the defeated. His father, a Republican, is imprisoned; his mother works in the factory and entrusts him to relatives at a farmhouse. There, amid fear and repression, he discovers the adult world, friendship and feelings; love, hatred and revenge strain life.
It is part of the Clàssica collection, volume 580. It won the Joan Crexells Prize for narrative, the Lletra d'Or Prize and the Maria Àngels Anglada Narrative Prize.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the historical memory of the Spanish post-war period and in Catalan narrative.
Emili Teixidor i Viladecàs was a Catalan writer, journalist and pedagogue. He wrote over thirty novels, mainly for children and teenagers, but he is perhaps best known for his acclaimed adult novel, Black Bread, which inspired a film of the same name.
