«Tots els ports es diuen Helena» is the young adult novel by Joan Barril Cuxart, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
Guillem, a twelve-year-old boy, lives beside a canal in Bruges. With Pier, his mother's boyfriend and a river transporter, he embarks on a journey along the rivers of Europe, from Rotterdam to the Black Sea. The voyage frames a story about the awakening of love and the senses, the chimera of heroism, and music as a guiding thread.
The work won the Premi Ramon Muntaner 1998 and the Premi Crítica Serra d'Or de Literatura infantil i juvenil 2000, and belongs to the Butxaca collection of Editorial Empúries.
Aimed at a young adult audience, it is a coming-of-age novel that can also be enjoyed by anyone seeking a literary vision of Europe.
