The work traces his life's journey from his birth in Benissanet to his exile in Montpellier and Mexico, and his subsequent return to Catalonia. The reader will discover how his republican militancy and the experience of expatriation forged a literary body of work consisting of thirty books, filled with evocation and testimony. An essential portrait for understanding the Catalan diaspora and the memory of a convulsive century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offers an exhaustive journey through the life of Artur Bladé, from his origins in the Terres de l'Ebre to his death. It details his political activity as a local and regional republican leader, which led him into exile in 1939. First in Montpellier and, starting in 1942, in Mexico, where he developed a literary body of work marked by the longing for his homeland.
