"La taverna intel·lectual: (De les meves memòries)" by Pompeyo Gener is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual life of Barcelona through the eyes of the author as he recounts his experiences in a vibrant tavern setting. The text highlights the cultural and social interactions that took place in "La Malvasía," the bodega-restaurant owned by Joan Ventura, where a diverse group of artists, writers, and intellectuals gathered. In the memoir, Gener vividly describes the eclectic clientele of the tavern, presenting a variety of characters such as poets, journalists, and musicians who frequented the establishment. He shares anecdotes about lively discussions that included topics ranging from politics to artistic expression and the often humorous interactions among patrons. The tavern serves as a microcosm of the broader social changes occurring in society, reflecting the complexities of human nature, creativity, and camaraderie while showcasing Joan Ventura's generosity and his passion for literature. Ultimately, the narrative weaves together personal recollections with cultural commentary, making it a compelling read for those interested in literary history and the bohemian lifestyle of the time.
