La mort i la primavera

Death in Spring is an unfinished novel by Catalan author Mercè Rodoreda. It was first published in Catalan as La mort i la primavera in 1986. It was released in English in 2009 by Open Letter Books, translated by Martha Tennent. It was rereleased by Penguin European Writers in 2018. Rodoreda wrote the work in the early 1960s when she was in exile, and it is thought to be a condemnation of totalitarianism and Rodoreda's experience with Nazism during WWII.
