'Solitud' was an immediate success with readers and was translated into various languages. One hundred years after its publication, this modern, startling novel is still just as relevant today. Considered one of the greatest works of Catalan literature ever written, 'Solitud' tells of the spiritual journey of a woman, Mila, who lives in the countryside. Juxtaposing life in the valleys with the realism high up in the mountains, the protagonist sets off on a journey of self-awareness that will lead her to find, in solitude, the strength she needs to break with the conventions of her daily life. Mila's drama helps us to understand that we are alone in the world, and thus keeps us company and gives us the courage to keep going, like she does, in spite of it all.
