Rate this book
L' obra de Josep Pla s'apropa en moltes ocasions al diari, com El quadern gris o
Notes per a Sílvia .

Les investigacions en els arxius de Josep Plan han permès localitzar molt recentment petites llibretes en les que es conserven els diaris d'aquest tipus, els corresponents a 1956, 1957 i 1964. L'informació que contenen permeten accedir a la vida quotidiana de l'escriptor empordanès en uns anys cabdals de la seva trajectòria literària, i al mateix temps comprovar com entenia l'escriptura, com una taula de salvació a la que recòrre amb freqüència. Edició de Xavier Pla.

Josep Pla i Casadevall (known as José Pla in Spanish) (March 8, 1897, Palafrugell, Girona - April 23, 1981, Llofriu, Girona) was a Catalan journalist and a popular author. As a journalist he worked in France, Italy, England, Germany and Russia, from where he wrote political and cultural chronicles in Catalan.

The most important characteristics of the “planian” style are simplicity, irony, and clarity. His works show a subjective and colloquial view, “anti-literary”, in which he stresses, nevertheless, an enormous stylistic effort by calling things by their names and “coming up with the precise adjective”, one of his most persistent literary obsessions.

Pla lived completely dedicated to writing. The extent of his Obres Completes - Complete Works (46 volumes and nearly 40,000 pages), which is a collection of all his journals, reports, articles, essays, biographies and both long and short novels.

His liberal-conservative thought, skeptic and uncompromising, filled with irony and common sense, keeps sounding contemporary, completely current, even though it seems to contradict the current cultural establishment same as it did with its completely opposed antecessor. His books remain in print and both Spanish and Catalan critics have unanimously recognized him as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
