Excerpt: "Miquel de Palol i Felip (Girona, 1885 - Girona, 1965) was a Catalan writer...He was a member of the group of modernist writers in Girona and with them he adopted bohemian and rebellious attitudes. He took part in the creation of the Girona Floral Games in 1903, and collaborated in L'Enderroc, Lletres and La Catalanitat , which he directed, and others, as well as the Barcelona press ( El Poble Catalΰ, L'Esquella de la Torratxa, La Campana de Grΰcia). A poet of the symbolist currents, he published Roses (1905), Sonetos galantes (1912) and Poemes de tarda (1914)). He is also the author of the novel Camν de llum (1909), one of the most significant works of Catalan decadentism, and of the collection of short stories Tales of Love and Torture (1910).
