Download or read book Catalan Poems written by Joan Gelabert and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, being advanced in time, is meant as homage to Ramon Llull. His spirit is still present in the way we see the world and the way in which we contemplate ourselves as we are. This means that through these poems the foreign reader can acquire a fairer and clearer vision of modern Catalan culture. A real poet connects the men's hearts, eliminates their prejudices and helps them create higher perceptions of themselves. A real poet therefore, helps man's struggle in striving to improve themselves.
Download or read book Count Arnau written by Joan Maragall and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versions or translations of one of Europe's most important and least known poets, Joan Maragall, an essential figure of Catalan literature. These poems begin in patriotic celebration of all things Catalonian, folklore, folk dance, song... then wrestle to embrace both Catholicism & 19th Century German philosophy. Along the way, anarchist terrorism, the Spanish American War, and the seeds of Socialism appear. But like all great poetry, Joan Maragall's work transcends its era to touch all readers who encounter it. This is the English world's first chance to encounter a large selection of Maragall's poems brought into English. It is unlikely to be the last.

Book Synopsis Catalan Literature by : Arthur Terry
Download or read book Catalan Literature written by Arthur Terry and published by London : Ernest Benn Limited ; New York : Barnes & Noble. This book was released on 1972 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In writing this brief history of Catalan literature, I have tried to bear in mind the needs of the non-specialist reader with some knowledge of Spanish who wishes to know more about an important but, on the whole, neglected area of Peninsular culture. Where English readers are concerned, the task, unfortunately, is long overdue: in a recent and otherwise excellent literary encyclopedia, the whole of Catalan literature is allotted the same amount of space as Jean-Paul Sartre, and this seems characteristic of a situation which few specialists as yet have tried to alter. The chief barrier, of course, is linguistic: yet it is not difficult to acquire at least a reading knowledge of Catalan, and for reasons which are given in Chapter 1, the older literature is relatively accessible to a modern reader compared, say, with that of France or Spain. This accessibility gives an impression of coherence to the entire range of Catalan literature which is reinforced to a great extent by social and historical tendencies. Roughly speaking, Catalan literature follows a recognizable European pattern, with one notable exception: the fact that its course is interrupted for something like three centuries by what is usually known as the period of "Decadence" (see Chapter 2). To see why this should be so demands an awareness of certain historical facts, and these in turn point to the close interpenetration of literature and society which is evident in most phases of Catalan culture. Both the 19th-century revival and the more conscious programs of noucentisme in the 20th are attempts to create a new national identity, a task which has lost none of its urgency in the years since the Spanish Civil War. - Preface.

Download or read book Mount Canigó written by Jacint Verdaguer and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalonia's towering Romantic poet and rebel priest, Jacint Verdaguer (1845-1902), delves deep into the Catalan imaginary in his foundational long poem Mount Canigó (1886), recounting the historical and legendary mix, both tragic and triumphant, of the medieval origins of modern Catalonia. The collision between duty and love is mirrored by the symbolic conflict between, on the one hand, a powerful folk mythology rooted in the natural geography and, on the other, the widely institutionalized universalism of Christianity concomitant to the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula. Rich in lyrical and thematic correspondence with long poems ranging from La chanson de Roland, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso and Spenser's Faerie Queene to Milton's Paradise Lost, Longfellow's Evangeline and Tennyson's Idylls of the King, Verdaguer's masterful verse rivals all the legendary magic and wonder of the mountains themselves. Jacint Verdaguer is regarded as one of the greatest poets of Catalan literature. Ronald Puppo is the translator of Selected Poems of Jacint Verdaguer: A Bilingual Edition. Mount Canigó: A Tale of Catalonia is published in association with Editorial Barcino. Winner of the 2016 "Serra d'Or" Critics Award for Research in Catalan Studies

Book Synopsis The Poetry of Salvador Espriu by : D. Gareth Walters
Download or read book The Poetry of Salvador Espriu written by D. Gareth Walters and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two standpoints govern the approach taken to the poetry of Salvador Espriu in this extended study of his work. First, the author explores the structural implications of symmetry and numerology, in a chronological rather than thematic survey of the poetry - a procedure that involves a consideration of how each book attains its distinctive character while having common preoccupations and stylistic traits. Secondly, he examines the tension implicit in Espriu's poetry between involvement and detachment or between the civic and the lyric.

Book Synopsis The Dolls' Room by : Llorenç Villalonga
Download or read book The Dolls' Room written by Llorenç Villalonga and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of contemporary Catalan literature, and a haunting and satirical portrait of a vanishing age, Llorenç Villalonga's The Dolls' Room concerns the decline of Don Toni and Dona Maria Antonia Bearn: aristocrats, cousins, husband and wife, and members of the decadent, age-old ruling class of the town that bears their name. Their story is told by the naïve family priest, Don Joan, who was taken under Don Toni's wing as a schoolboy. Describing the shabby grandeur of his benefactors' lives—their ancient, rundown family mansion, their grand but ruinous excursions to Paris and Rome, and the mysterious events that lead to their deaths—the humbly devout Joan is continually challenged, and perhaps titillated, by Don Toni's impious personality, his defiance of church authority, and his scandalous affairs. Partly condemning and partly admiring his devilish mentor, the pure-minded Don Joan's lurid "biography" of the Bearns is a testament to the eternal attractiveness of the libertine, and the lengths to which we go in justifying our own worst impulses.
