Barcelona, ??Sep 6 (EFE).- Professor Montserrat Bacardí won the III Ricard Torrents Bertrana essay prize this Wednesday with Teresa Pàmies’ literary truth, the first complete biography of the writer from Lleida, “profusely documented and full of sus personal files”.
War, exile, her Marxist convictions or the defense of freedom of expression mark this work on one of the most prolific Catalan authors of the 20th century, with fifty books to her credit and thousands of articles published, as reported by the Eumo editorial.
The book, of about 500 pages, is expected to be presented next Tuesday during the Catalan Book Week.
The award was presented at the Agustí Centelles Library in Barcelona, ??located in the Teresa Pàmies Cultural Center.
An avid reader of the work of Pàmies and an expert on Catalan exile literature, Montserrat Bacardí wanted to trace “her vital and artistic itinerary”, in a job that she began seven years ago considering that “she was a writer little attended by the academy”. . EFE
