Architect Josep Maria Jujol (1879 - 1949).
In Josep Pla, Joan Ramon Resina teases out the writer's deep-seated intellectual concerns and challenges the assumption of Pla as an anti-intellectual.
La Col·lecció Josep M. Queraltó, una de les més importants d’Europa sobre la tècnica cinematogrà fica, reuneix innombrables peces i enginys de tota mena, avui insospitats, que van fer possible l’origen i l’evolució del setè art. La seva història, el seu relat, és apassionant. Aquest catà leg –que publiquem amb motiu de la mostra «L’experiència mà gica del cinema», celebrada a la Universitat de Barcelona–, submergeix el lector en l’univers fascinador del cinema i n’explica la història des de les primeres albors fins a l’aparició del cinematògraf dels germans Lumière, aixà com els seus vincles amb les ciències i l’art.

"Josep Lluais Sert (1902-1983) was the last president of CIAM (International Congresses of Modern Architecture) and dean of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design from 1953 to 1969, where he founded the discipline of urban design. His writings offer a new view of his activities in architecture and urban planning, and provide the intellectual context for his own work as an architect, much of which is still controversial and often poorly understood. This book includes 16 essays dating from 1951 to 1977, ten of which are previously unpublished. The Writings of Josep Lluais Sert illuminates Sert's contributions to 20th-century architecture, urban design, and design pedagogy, and makes clear the similarities and differences between his ideas and those of his mentor, Le Corbusier. The essays reveal Sert's advocacy both for pedestrian urbanism and for planning in relation to the natural environment, ideas that have become important issues in contemporary urban design. Each text is introduced by the editor, Eric Mumford, a scholar of CIAM, Sert, and modern urbanism."--Publisher's website.

It began as an extraordinary correspondence across the Mediterranean.Josep, a secular Catholic from Barcelona, wanted to learn about Daniella's life as an American-Israeli Orthodox Jew. Her enthusiastic response to his curiosity resulted in this collection of entertaining and enlightening letters.With nuance, candor, and warmth-and a liberal dash of humor-Daniella paints a vivid picture of observant Jewish life. She explains complex concepts in a manner so unassuming and accessible that even the most uninitiated can relate-but with enough depth that the knowledgeable will find new insight, too.Whether you're a curious non-Jew or a Jew hoping to expand your knowledge, Letters to Josep will charm, inform, and inspire you.
"Scholars of all periods and centuries who are interested in Iberian languages and letters will benefit from the book, and libraries both around the States and abroad will want to acquire it." (Patricia Hart, World Literature Today).
Peter Bush, winner of the Ramon Llull Prize for Literary Translation, brings to English this most prolific and influential of Catalan writers. Dripping with a panache that can turn in a comic instant to the most conciliatory humility, Josep Pla's foray into the land and sea most familiar to him will plunge readers head-first into its mysterious (and often tasty!) depths. Here are adventures and shipwrecks, raspy storytellers and the fishy meals that sustain them. After describing the process of beating an octopus with branches to soften up its flesh, Pla writes, "These are dishes that must be seen as a last resort." Pla inflects the mundane with the hidden rhythms of power sculpting culture, so that a hot supper is never just food--it embodies economic precarity and environmental erosion along with its own peculiar flavor. A lifetime of reporting on current events gave Pla the necessary skills to describe the world in all its gritty, funny, invigorating detail.
