Pere Calders (Barcelona 1912–1994) began his literary career in the thirties, but it was after the civil war, during his exile in Mexico (1939-1962), that he wrote one of his most accomplished works: Cròniques de la veritatoculta (1955), a story collection which definitively characterised his style. The novels L’ombra de l’atzavara (1964) and Ronda naval sota la boira (1966) confirmed his status as one of the great Catalan authors of the 20th Century.
