A Film (3,000 Meters) - Paperback

Victor Català was the pseudonym of the novelist and short story writer, Caterina Albert (1869-1966). Her early works--especially Solitude--were representative of the Modernist movement in Spain and reflected her interest in writing about rural settings. As trends changed, she incorporated more elements of cinema and civic concern into her writings, most notably in A Film, first published in Catalan 1926.
