Description
Very much in the same vein as its predecessor, L’humor a la Barcelona del Vuitcents –which was set in the 19th century– this volume brings together 55 humorous short stories set in Barcelona a century later. They are accompanied by previously unpublished illustrations by Xavier Nogués. The preface is by Francesc Pujols, and the selection of texts by Miquel Llor. Printed by the Rafael Salvà studio in Barcelona in July 1949.
We would like to thank the Joaquim Folch i Torres library at the MNAC, and especially its head, Yolanda Ruiz Ruiz, for their assistance in cataloguing this work.
