L'auca del senyor Esteve is a novel by Santiago Rusiñol published in 1907, of which there is a theatrical version. On 12 May 1917, the theatrical version of this novel is first played in Teatre Victòria, Barcelona (Catalonia).
L'auca del senyor Esteve is the result of the fusion between the customs of people in the 19th century and the auca, a Catalan style of story in pictures. It has 27 chapters about scenes and moments in the Ribera neighbourhood in Barcelona, which are interpreted by the 27 illustrations by Ramon Casas and the 27 rhymes by Gabriel Alomar. This novel lets Rusiñol expose the new orientation and relationships there were in those times.
