He witnessed and wrote about some of the twentieth-century’s most notable events including the Spanish Civil War and the foundation of the state of Israel. Due to a lack of translations of his work he is only now being discovered by the international audience and will soon join the ranks of major realist writers in world literature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eJosep Pla, \u003c\/i\u003eJoan Ramon Resina teases out the writer’s deep-seated intellectual concerns and challenges the assumption of Pla as an anti-intellectual. Resina condenses Pla’s forty-seven volumes of work, including travel books, narrative fiction, and history, into eleven thematic units: including time, memory, perception, life, religion, metaphysics, utopia, and self-delusion. Resina acutely explores the writer’s authorial gaze and invites the reader to see the world through the eyes of one of the most underappreciated observers and writers of the twentieth-century. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32119655661651,"sku":"","price":68.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781487501846_8e68d428-f137-455f-9b19-fec503ddf097.jpg?v=1777120242","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/josep-pla-seeing-the-world-in-the-form-of-articles","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
