About the author
Born in Gràcia in 1843 and dying in Barcelona in 1924, Antoni Careta y Vidal was a Catalan writer associated with the cultural revival known as the Renaixença. Reliable catalog and reference pages identify him as an author of poetry, drama, narrative prose, and other literary works in Catalan.
His bibliography shows a notably wide range, including collections such as Brosta and Narracions estranyes, as well as plays and verse pieces published in Barcelona. He is also remembered for language-oriented writing, including a work on Catalan barbarisms, which suggests a strong interest not only in literature but in the shape and use of the language itself.
Today, Careta y Vidal is a lesser-known but interesting figure for listeners who enjoy rediscovering 19th-century Catalan voices: prolific, versatile, and rooted in the literary culture of his time.
