Rafael Tasis Marca (Barcelona, 1906 \u2013 Paris, 1966) developed a highly prolific literary activity as a journalist, critic, writer, playwright, historian and translator. He was leader of the Catalan political party Acci\u00f3 Catalana Republicana and was involved in the administration of the Catalan national government Generalitat de Catalunya during the war \u2014 first, as a general secretary of the party and then in the official policy of the first exile.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He was self-educated and began writing for the children\u2019s magazine La Mainada<\/em> and for pre-war prestigious publications such as La Publicitat<\/em>, Mirador<\/em> or Revista de Catalunya<\/em> as a columnist and literary critic. He became a famous novelist thanks to his work Vint anys<\/em> (1931). In 1948, he came back from his exile in Paris and was a frequent collaborator of the magazines in exile and actively participated in the resistance against the Franco dictatorship. He worked on various literary trends. As a novelist, he published Sol ponent<\/em> (1953), Abans d\u2019ahir<\/em> (1956) and Tres<\/em> (1962) and wrote the crime novels La B\u00edblia valenciana<\/em> (1955), \u00c9s hora de plegar<\/em> (1956) and Un crim al Paral\u00b7lel<\/em> (1960). As a playwright, he is the author of Un home entre herois <\/em> (1956), Gulliver i els gegants<\/em> (1952) and La maleta<\/em> (1960). He also worked on history, writing La vida del rei en Pere III<\/em> (1954) and Joan I, rei, ca\u00e7ador i music<\/em> (1958). He is the author of various literary essays, such as Una visi\u00f3 de conjunt de la novel\u00b7la catalana<\/em> (1935) or La novel\u00b7la catalana<\/em> (1954), or Hist\u00f2ria de la premsa catalana<\/em> (1966), the latter written in collaboration with Joan Torrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 30s, Rafael Tasis translated El retrat de Dorian Gray<\/em>, the sole novel by Oscar Wilde; La nimfa constant<\/em>, an Europe-wide success by Margaret Kennedy; and El somriure de la Gioconda<\/em> by Aldous Huxley, a writer he personally met and appreciated, and of whom he published the version of After Many A Summer<\/em> a year before his death. He was an avid reader of crime novels and, in the 60s, Rafael Tasis translated classical works such as La clau de vidre<\/em> (1963), by Dashiell Hammett, for the collection La Cua de Palla<\/em>. He also translated drama, as the free adaption of Volpone<\/em> (1957), by Ben Jonson, and La sala d\u2019estar<\/em> (1962), a comedy by Graham Greene. Some of his translations remained unpublished, as El joglar del m\u00f3n occidental<\/em>, by J. M. Synge (published in 2014 by Dolors Udina), L\u2019Apol\u00b7lo de Bellac<\/em>, by Jean Giraudoux (played by the theatre company Agrupaci\u00f3 Dram\u00e0tica de Barcelona), Les maletes del senyor Vernet<\/em>, a comedy by Claude Megnier, and Assaigs d\u2019un bi\u00f2leg<\/em>, by Julian Huxley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection is a donation from Rafael Tasis\u2019 family and is kept at the library Biblioteca d\u2019Humanitats at the Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona<\/a>. It includes abundant documents: press scraps, political and literary projects, letters to journalists and unfinished or unpublished works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
