About the author
Very little biographical information could be confirmed about Manuel Saurí from the sources I found, but library and catalog records clearly connect him with Barcelona and with several 19th-century Spanish-language publications.
Those records attribute works to him including Descripción de la columna de Napoleón, Guía general de Barcelona, and La caza de la perdiz con escopeta, al vuelo y con perro de muestra. Together, these titles paint a picture of an author and publisher working in practical, descriptive genres rather than fiction.
Because reliable biographical details such as his birth and death dates were not readily available in the sources I checked, it is safest to remember him as a historical Barcelona-based man of letters whose books preserve useful pieces of local culture and daily life.
