Literature as a Response to Cultural and Political Repression in Franco's Catalonia

By: Jordi Cornellà-Detrell

A thoroughly researched and documented study of Catalan literature under the Franco regime, focussed on several key post-Civil War novels and their authors. During the 1950s and 1960s, several key Catalan authors set about rewriting some of their narrative work despite the obstacles to publication in Catalan under the Franco regime. This study describes the social, political and cultural conditions that impelled Salvador Espriu, Xavier Benguerel, Sebastià Juan Arbó and Joan Sales to revise Laia, El testament, Tino Costa and Incerta glòria, concentrating particularly on the linguistic debates and literary trends from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical perspectives, this book examines the reasons for the rewriting, including censorship and self-censorship, generational and ideological changes within the Catalan literary field, controversies over linguistic purism, the appearance of new literary trends and gender and political issues. It focuses on the (re)construction of a distinctive national identity and the impact of repression, memory, exile and silence on the representation of the war and the post-war periods. This study explores not only how writers or society at large were affected by the dictatorship, but how the armed conflict left its mark on the writing process itself. Jordi Cornellà-Detrell is a Lecturer in Spanish in the School of Modern Languages at Bangor University.

Barcelona 2020

Visual chronicle of a confined city

By: Jordi Panyella

The fact that a journalist of the written press, an editor for more than thirty years, suddenly starts writing with pictures, taking photos, can only mean two things: either he is gone mad or the world has been so reversed that it is not recognizable anymore. Jordi Panyella (Barcelona, 1966) is still writing in the newspaper El Punt Avui, as he always has, but the world has now changed radically. And specially in his city, following the brutal impact of the crisis of the Covid-19. Through a story woven with images taken during two months of confinement, Barcelona 2020 unfolds the every day life in the city, this wonderful city, its streets and its people during a unique spring, empty of life, full of fear and horror, struggles and hope. It is the visual chronicle of a historic event that will determine a whole generation. It is a unique story, full of emotions, the graphic testimony of unrepeatable days.

The Secret of Vesalius

By: Jordi Llobregat

Frankenstein meets The Shadow of the Wind in a Gothic thriller set in the diabolical city of fin-de-siecle Barcelona. Daniel Amat has left Spain and all that happened there behind him. Having just achieved a brilliant role in Ancient Languages at Oxford University and an even more advantageous engagement, the arrival of a letter - a demand - stamped Barcelona comes like a cold hand from behind. He arrives back in that old, labyrinthine and near-mythic city a few days before the great 1888 World Fair, amid dread whispers of murders - the injuries reminiscent of an ancient curse, and bearing signs of the genius 16th century anatomist, Vesalius. Daniel is soon pulled into the depths of the crime, and eventually into the tunnels below Barcelona, where his own dark past and the future of science are joined in a terrible venture - to bring the secret of Vesalius to life. Gothic and gripping, this historical thriller makes of Barcelona a diabolical character - emerging out of the dark into a new electrical age, aflame with spirit, superstition and science. Published in eighteen countries, Jordi Llobregat's bestselling first novel mixes a passionate setting and cryptic mystery into a genre-crossing phenomenon.
