Pedra de Tartera (Stone in a Landslide), Maria Barbal’s beloved Catalan novel, tells the quiet yet powerful life story of Conxa, a woman from a small Pyrenean village. Through her memories, we enter a harsh rural world shaped by poverty, hard work, and unspoken rules. From childhood to old age, Conxa witnesses love, loss, and the upheaval of the Spanish Civil War, which forever alters her family and future.
Now, forty years after its publication, this essential classic is reborn in an illustrated edition. Áurea López’s delicate, poetic artwork enriches Conxa’s voice and offers readers a moving visual journey—each illustration adding depth, emotion, and new light to Barbal’s timeless story.
