Jordi Piferrer, storico di Barcellona, ha studiato per anni, in loco, varie spedizioni di evasione attraverso i Pirenei, durante la Guerra civile spagnola (1936-1939) e la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Nella prima parte del libro analizza a fondo la fuga di San Josemaría Escrivá, nell’autunno del 1937, con altre sette persone, allegando numerosi documenti inediti. Nella seconda parte descrive i due soggiorni di San Josemaría in Andorra, le guide che resero possibile la traversata, alcune questioni ancora controverse, e altre due spedizioni, correlate con quella principale.San Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975) fondò a Madrid il 2 ottobre 1928, per ispirazione divina, l’Opus Dei che, alla sua morte, era diffuso in tutto il mondo, con oltre 60.000 membri. È stato canonizzato a Roma il 6 ottobre 2002.
This original study examines different incarnations of the Pyrenees, beginning with the assumptions of 18th-century geologists, who treated the mountains like a laboratory, and romantic 19th-century tourists and habitués of the spa resorts, who went in search of the picturesque and the sublime. The book analyses the individual visions of the heroic Pyrenees which in turn fascinated 19th-century mountaineers and the racing cyclists of the early Tour de France. Martyn Lyons also investigates the role of the Pyrenees during the Second World War as an escape route from Nazi-occupied France, when for thousands of refugees these dangerous borderlands became 'the mountains of liberty', and considers the place of the Pyrenees in recent times right up to the present day. Drawing on travel writing, press reports and scientific texts in several languages, The Pyrenees in the Modern Era explores both the French and Spanish sides of the Pyrenees to provide a nuanced historical understanding of the cultural construction of one of Europe's most prominent border regions. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of Europe's cultural history in a transnational context.
Aquest llibre relata una bona part de la història convulsa d’Andorra i d’Espanya, en el període dels anys 1920-1940 a l’entorn del bisbe d’Urgell i copríncep d’Andorra, Justí Guitart i posa de manifest no solament la fermesa del personatge entestat en la seva fidelitat a l’Església i en la salvaguarda de la independència i la sobirania del petit principat pirinenc, sinó també la grandesa i les misèries de la política de l’època. Té un gran interès per a l’estudi de la guerra civil i per al coneixement de l’actitud del bisbe davant els excessos de la repressió franquista.

"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
