This is the last and perhaps the best of Maria Ángels Anglada's books. Revised just one week before her death, this work contains all the elements that have made the author one of the most loved and admired Catalan authors of this century: fine irony, a love for classical literature, a continual presence of the Mediterranean, an understanding of the world conditioned by poetry, and above all the moral excellence of her characters. Everything is clearly thought out and tied together in this brief but intense and incredibly delicate book, making it a stellar example of the author's literary rigor and intelligence. A small-scale masterpiece, A Night in 1911 is the culminating point in the career of one of the most respected figures in Catalan literature.
