The Humanities Library celebrates 50 years of Mecanoscrit del segon origen
To mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Mecanoscrit del segon origen, the Humanities Library presents an exhibition highlighting the impact of this landmark Catalan science fiction novel, written by Manuel de Pedrolo in 1974.
50 Years of Mecanoscrit del segon origen is an exhibition curated by the Humanities Library to honour this iconic work. Taking advantage of this milestone, the exhibition brings together a selection of science fiction novels by various authors, offering a broad perspective on the genre through the contributions of prominent figures in Catalan literature.
Visitors will find works by classic authors such as Joaquim Carbó, Pere Calders, Avel·lí Artís Gener, and Maria Aurèlia Capmany, alongside contemporary writers like Bel Olid, Francesc Miralles, and Albert Sánchez Piñol.
Located in the display cases on the ground floor of the Humanities Library, the exhibition will be open until January 2025. This initiative offers readers and visitors a unique opportunity to discover or rediscover the novels that have shaped the science fiction literary scene in Catalonia.
