• Josep Pla i Casadevall
• (March 8, 1897, Palafrugell, Girona - April 23,
  1981, Llofriu, Girona) was a journalist and a
  popular author.

  from  Baix Empordà , he obtained his high
  school diploma in  Girona ,In 1913 he
  registered to study science at the  University
  of Barcelona  and began his studies in medicine,
  but in the middle of the course he changed his
  mind and registered to study Law.

Josep Pla

• He started his journey as a correspondent in
  various European cities (Paris, Madrid, Portugal,
  Berlin). In 1924, under the dictatorship of
   Primo de Rivera , he underwent a military
  proceeding and was condemned to exile because of
  a critical article about the Spanish military
  policy in Morocco, published in Majorcas El Día
  (The Day) .

  article in Destino, the weekly publication that

Josep Pla

• Even so, in 1980, near the end of his life, Josep
  Tarradellas gave him the Medalla d'Or de la
  Generalitat de Catalunya (The Gold Medal of the
  Autonomous Government of Catalonia). It is
  worthwhile to mention, as it represented a minor
  fisure within so far monolithic rejection from
  writers in Catalan, that Joan Coromines, a
  fundamental Catalan etymologist, supported Plà in
  hiw own acceptance speech for the gold medal he
  was also granted.
• Pla died in 1981 in his native Empordà, leaving
  thirty-eight volumes (over twenty-five thousand
  pages) of  Obra Completa  (Complete Works)
