The Iris

Zuzanna Celej
Ramon Besora Oliva

"The Iris is an oneiric album that absorbs us into the mythical world of mysterious creatures of the Pyrenean mountains."

A narration of the life, characteristics and rituals of these mysterious high mountain creatures that live on the outskirts of towns. In a poetic style, midway between a folk tale and a bestiary, with hazy illustrations, the reader is absorbed into an atmosphere of mystery and fantasy. The text is almost as mythical as the beings it describes: written in 1992, it inspired seven stories created by Miquel Obiols, which won the Critici in Erba award in Bologna to international acclaim. Three decades later, the original work is finally published.
