Catalan historical legends

Description

This book studies five Catalan historical legends, born in the Middle Ages and which currently still maintain vitality in various areas of Catalonia: the four bars; the sword of Vilardell; Galceran de Pinós and the rescue of the hundred maidens; the procreation of King Jaume i, and finally, that of the death of infanta Sança. With the wisdom, the rigor, expository clarity, the convenience and precision that are characteristic of it, Professor Martí de Riquer offers us a fascinating journey through the centuries and the history of Catalonia. In the present book, the reader will rediscover the style and vigor that fascinated him in Fifteen generations of a Catalan family.
