{"product_id":"9781487501846","title":"Josep Pla: Seeing the World in the Form of Articles","description":"\u003cp\u003eJosep Pla is Catalonia's foremost twentieth-century prose writer. 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031722148080,"sku":"9781487501846","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781487501846_p0.jpg?v=1763635944","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781487501846","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
