| Maria Àngels Anglada (Vic 1930 - Figueres 1999) is one of the most important figures of the Catalan 20th century. Her first publication was a book of poetry, Díptic (1972), but her success as an author was concretized in 1978 when she was awarded the Josep Pla prize for her first novel Les Closes (currently published by Destino). She subsequently became one the most prestigious and widely-read of all Catalan authors with works such as: No em dic Laura (1981), L'agent del Rei (1991) and El violí d'Auschwitz (1994), which has sold 100.000 copies to date. She is also the author of essay collections and several volumes of poetry. She won the Octavi Pellissa prize for her book of short stories Nit de 1911 (published by Empúries, 1999). |
