La nit de cap d'any que coincidí amb el canvi de mil·lenni, l'autor d'aquest llibre va anar fins al Cap de Creus a veure com naixia, de la mar Mediterrània, el primer sol del segle xxi. Observar el recorregut de l'astre li féu venir la idea de seguir un camí des del Pirineu més oriental fins al congost d'Ovarra, a la Franja, sempre amb el sol al davant; un camí que el portés a conèixer els temples, petits o grans, que es poden trobar des del Cap de Creus, allà on neix el sol, fins a la Franja, on es pon. Aquest llibre és el quadern de viatge de l'autor que, en bicicleta o a peu, s'endinsa en pobles i fa coneixença de persones, històries i llegendes, temples i ermites de muntanya...

The shooter is James Kopp, the son of a Marine, who came to embrace the pro-life cause and ultimately the notion of "justifiable homicide: against abortion providers. Kopp fan...

Enric Sànchez-Cid té la fal•lera d'estudiar les marededéus romàniques de Catalunya (en té més de 300) i cercar ermites troglodites i temples de localització insòlita (n'ha reunit 325).

This book studies the emergence, in the late 1960s and 1970s, of a sophisticated body of gay fiction in Catalan, and examines the relation between the representation of homosexuality and the discourses on national identity that legitimate modern Catalan literature. Gay fiction, argues the author, reveals a tension between the nation and the body in Catalan literature: Catalonia is a nation different from Spain, a cultural and political minority within Europe; but the existence of sexual minorities within its boundaries reveals its inner complexity, which resists homogenization. Catalonia is another country in more ways than one. Drawing on a variety of critical discourses (gay theory, psycho...

Over the last twenty years there has been a growing international interest in the city of Barcelona. This has been reflected in the academic world through a series of studies, courses, seminars, and publications. The Barcelona Reader hinges together a selection of the best academic articles, written in English, about the city, and its main elements of identity and interest: art, urban planning, history and social movements. The book includes scholarly essays about Barcelona that can be of interest to the student and the general public alike. It focuses on cultural representations of the city: the arts (including literature) provide a complex yet discontinuous portrait of the city, similar to a patchwork. The authors selected create a kaleidoscope of views and voices thus presenting a diverse yet inclusive Barcelona portrait. The Barcelona Reader offers a multifaceted assessment that will be essential reading for anyone interested in this iconic city.
