It was an act of gratitude for the solidarity shown six years earlier, when the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera attacked the Catalan language. Through this episode, the work unveils the networks of mutual support between figures such as Menéndez Pidal, Ortega, Marañón, Azaña, Pompeu Fabra, and Gaziel, offering a revealing look at intellectual and political coexistence in Spain at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on a specific event: the celebration in Barcelona of an homage by Catalan intellectuals to about fifty Castilian intellectuals. This gesture was in response to the solidarity the latter had expressed in 1924, when the Primo de Rivera dictatorship issued decrees against the Catalan language and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is not limited to narrating the event itself, but explores the political and social context that made it possible. It analyzes the personal and ideological relationships between key figures on both sides: from Menéndez Pidal, Ortega y Gasset, Gregorio Marañón, Manuel Azaña, Ramón Pérez de Ayala, Ramón Gómez de la Serna, and Américo Castro, to the Catalans Pi i Sunyer, Joan Coromines, Pompeu Fabra, Gili, Gaziel, Lluís Sbert, and Joan Esterlich. Through their ties, the author shows how dialogue and cooperation between intellectuals from different regions was a real and significant phenomenon in the years leading up to the Second Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationships between Catalan and Castilian intellectuals during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSolidarity and mutual support in the face of linguistic and cultural repression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of the Catalan language as a focal point for cultural vindication and resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of intellectual collaboration networks in interwar Spain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe historical and political context preceding the Second Spanish Republic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the history of Spain, especially the period of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship and the years prior to the Second Republic.
