«Ulisses a alta mar» is the novel by Baltasar Porcel, published by Edicions 62 in hardcover (256 pages, in Catalan).
Lluís Arrom, a journalist based in Barcelona, is about to be appointed Minister of Culture. His relationship with his son, his wife and the young Gabriela reawakens old concerns. The novel interweaves his drift with the myth of Ulysses: like the Homeric hero, he travels among lands and peoples, and the more goals he achieves, the more alone he feels on the high seas.
It belongs to the El Balancí collection (no. 314) from Edicions 62. It won the Prudenci Bertrana Prize in 1997. This hardcover edition is the 2nd edition.
For readers of contemporary Catalan fiction and modern retellings of the myth of Ulysses.
Baltasar Porcel i Pujol was a Spanish writer, journalist and literary critic. His enormous legacy credited him as one of the greatest authors in Catalan literature from the 20th century.
