Jacobé & Fineta

Hauntingly beautiful, stark and deceptively complex, Joaquim Ruyra's short stories have long been celebrated as some of the most important and iconic pieces of literature in the 20th century Catalan canon. Of these short stories, Jacobé and Fineta stand out as masterpieces of their genre in terms of their powerful descriptions of the towns and countryside of the Mediterranean coastline and the subjects they cover. Accompanied by Ruyra expert and critic Julià Guillamon's introduction, Alan Yates' sublime translation in this limited edition brings them to a new audience.
