Synopsis:

L'escuma dels dies podria ser una història d'amor trista, si no fos també una crítica sagnant a la religió i l'obsessió pel treball o una sàtira contra l'existencialisme de Jean-Paul Sartre, convertit a la novel·la en Jean-Sol Partre. Hi ha qui hi veurà també un conte de fades trist, amb ratolins que endrecen la cuina, cases que es fan petites i nenúfars malignes que creixen al pit de la jove protagonista. I d'altres hi trobaran una estimulant novel·la d'anticipació científica, amb invents tan suggeridors com el piano-bar o l'arrenca-cors, i un homenatge explícit al cinema mut… Tot això (i molt més) és L'escuma dels dies, una de les grans fites de la literatura contemporània i, alhora, una d'aquelles lectures mítiques que t'acompanya tota la vida.

About the Author: Boris Vian (1920-1959) was a French writer, poet, musician, singer, translator, critic, actor, inventor and engineer. Best remembered for L'Ecume des jours (translated into English by Stanley Chapman as Froth on the Daydream and renamed Mood Indigo to tie in with the film), Vian's work is characterised by the dazzling wordplay and surreal plots which made him a cult figure in 1960s France and beyond.
