QR code
"Lo ferrer de tall" by Frederic Soler i Hubert is a verse drama written in the late 19th century. Set in Olot during the reign of Philip V, it centers on the principled blacksmith Jordi, his daughter Rosa, the loyal and crafty Boy (the Left-Handed), and a Baron whose page Arnal stirs a dangerous intrigue, blending humor, song, and a clash between artisan honor and aristocratic power. The opening of the drama
takes place in Jordi’s bustling smithy on fair day, alive with work songs and banter. Jordi senses Rosa’s unexplained sadness, while Boy jokes and watches over her, and Biel chatters about the fair. The Baronesa arrives kindly to commission Rosa to re-embroider a Marian robe, and soon after the Baron appears to hire Jordi as castle smith and to commission a dagger, prompting Jordi to recount a grim family ballad about honor and a dagger that “passes mail.” Meanwhile, Arnal slips in and out, secretly conspiring with the Baron and drawing near to Rosa as Boy and the apprentices grow wary. By the end of the first act, Arnal has been lodged at the smithy under pretext of guarding tapestries, and in the early second act Boy rallies the men to “watch,” Biel reports seeing Arnal troubled at night, and Jordi, warned to be vigilant, begins to suspect that Rosa’s melancholy and the noble household’s sudden favors hide a perilous scheme.
