About the author
Manuel Saurí was a Spanish writer active in the 19th century, with books connected to Barcelona and to field sports. Surviving catalog records link him to works such as Guía general de Barcelona, a city guide, and La caza de la perdiz con escopeta, al vuelo y con perro de muestra, a practical book on partridge shooting.
Library and catalog sources also connect his name with later titles including Grandes cacerías (caza menor), published in Barcelona in 1894. Taken together, these records make him look like a versatile author whose books were aimed less at literary fame than at readers looking for useful, experience-based writing.
Reliable biographical detail beyond his publications is hard to confirm from the sources available here, so a fuller personal profile remains unclear. Even so, his books preserve a lively snapshot of 19th-century Spanish interests, especially the urban world of Barcelona and the culture of hunting.
