Novel , 1969

Destino

This novel is made up of letters that a certain Oliveri Serra i Codolar wrote to a friend who lived in Barcelona. Oliveri Serra writes whilst he travels around Europe, thanks to money left to him in his mother’s will. A bourgeois, bisexual pedantic snob with dreams of artistic greatness. Oliveri is Terenci’s own alter ego, that through this journey and the letters he writes he seeks to develop his own identity and that of his social class, the petty bourgeoisie from Barcelona, a recurring theme in the author’s first novels.
