Published in the late eighties, this collection of short stories offers a penetrating and original look at the human condition through extreme situations.

Through different tales, Valerià Pujol constructs a narrative mosaic where crime, understood in a broad sense, becomes the common thread. The author does not limit himself to crime in its judicial sense, but rather probes into moral transgressions, everyday violence, and the unspeakable secrets that inhabit human relationships. Each story functions as an autonomous piece, but together they draw a coherent and disturbing literary landscape, where tension grows progressively and the outcome, often unexpected, invites reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe nature of crime and moral transgression in daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHuman relationships marked by latent violence and secrecy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe psychological exploration of characters in extreme situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNarrative tension as a tool to unveil the shadows of society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for readers interested in contemporary short narrative in Catalan, especially those looking for stories with an intense psychological weight and a refined literary style.
