Quincalla es una obra de Víctor Català que recopila mil adagios para aprender vocabulario. Este libro, revisado y glosado por Joaquim Armengol, y con prólogo de Lluís Albert, presenta una colección de adagios escritos por la autora durante sus noches de insomnio, con el objetivo de conservar palabras genuinas del catalán que se encuentran en peligro de extinción. La obra celebra la riqueza de la prosa de Víctor Català y permite a los lectores redescubrir su legado literario.
Caterina Albert i Paradís, better known by her pen name Víctor Català, was a Catalan writer in Catalan and Spanish who participated in the Modernisme movement and was the author of one of the signature works of the genre, Solitud (Solitude) (1905). Her literary skill was first recognized in 1898, when she received the Jocs Florals prize; soon thereafter, she began using the pseudonym Victor Català, taking it from the protagonist of a novel she never finished. Despite her success as a dramatist and her forays into poetry, she is best known for her work in narrative literature, with the force of her style and the richness of her diction being especially noted. She died in her hometown of l’Escala, Catalonia, in 1966 and is interred in the Cementiri Vell de l’Escala.
