Journey to St Patrick's Purgatory
In autumn 1397, Viscount Ramon de Perellós, a Catalan nobleman, soldier and diplomat, left the papal palace in Avignon to travel to St Patrick's Purgatory, famous throughout Europe as a gateway to the next world.

Ramon Llull as a Vernacular Writer
The authors maintain that Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized the production and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion.

Bibliographie Linguistique de L'annee 1999
Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.

Antes de dar un golpe recorría una y otra vez el camino hasta su objetivo y apuntaba en unos cuadernos de colegio cualquier posible amenaza o información útil en caso de fuga: cuarteles de la Guardia Civil, radares, posibles atajos, etcétera. Se lo empezó a conocer como El Solitario y a fraguarse su leyenda.Durante trece años mantuvo en jaque a las fuerzas de seguridad del Estado que buscaban un hombre sin rostro, una sombra.
