Altres mons. Un viatge extraordinari pels mons imaginaris de la literatura catalana

The imagination of the Catalan Countries is filled with locations that have been explored and documented, but also with others born from the imaginations of the authors of fantasy genres.

The central exhibition of the sixth edition of Festival 42 gathers some of the non-mimetic worlds that Catalan literature has imagined and created as settings for its stories, and shows how these universes have evolved and engaged with one another over more than a century. From Canigó, by Jacint Verdaguer, or L'illa de les tres taronges, by Joan Fuster, to La pell freda, by Albert Sánchez Piñol, Negorith, by Ivan Ledesma, or Stella Signata, by Ricard Efa, the show explores twelve types of fantastic worlds and brings classic and contemporary works into dialogue.

The original illustrations by Eduard Jounou, Arnau Vendrell, Lucía García, Raúl Grabau, Carolina Veciana and Maria Sagrera offer a fresh perspective on these literary landscapes and turn the visit into a genuine journey through the other worlds of Catalan literature.
