Description

"This translation of the original Catalan text by Teresa Pamies and her father, Tomas, combines the father's memoirs with the author's letters written to him after his death. Born into a modest farming family, Tomas' political activism led to him fleeing Spain and joining Teresa in Prague. This work received the Josep Pla literary prize because of its interdisciplinary scope in literature, history, social sciences, and cultural studies especially as they relate to Communist Party issues in show more Prague in 1968. The memoirs and his daughter's reflections offer a narrative history of Spain and Catalonia during the first half of this century, including the Second Republic, the Civil War, the Franco dictatorship and exile, and is the first English translation of Pamies' works."--BOOK JACKET. show less
