Benet i Jornet and the poet and translator Feliu Formosa. Over the course of nearly a decade, from 1972 to 1980, their letters reveal a friendship forged in a passion for theater and literature. More than just a personal exchange, this collection of letters offers a unique window into a period of creative ferment and decisive change, during which fundamental works such as \u003ci\u003eRevolta de bruixes\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEl present vulnerable\u003c\/i\u003e were conceived. It is a vivid chronicle of literary creation and a testament to the strength of bonds that marked an entire era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book collects the intense correspondence maintained by Josep M. Benet i Jornet and Feliu Formosa between 1972 and 1980. This period coincides with crucial moments in the careers of both authors: for Benet i Jornet, it is the era of one of his most brilliant dramaturgical reinventions, culminating in the unsettling play \u003ci\u003eRevolta de bruixes\u003c\/i\u003e (1976). For Formosa, these are the years he wrote the poems of grief in \u003ci\u003eCançoner\u003c\/i\u003e (1976) and the stark diary \u003ci\u003eEl present vulnerable\u003c\/i\u003e (1979), both conceived following the death of his first wife, the actress Maria Plans, in 1974. Through these letters, the reader witnesses the cultural history of the moment firsthand, literary creation in full boil, and the account of lives told in the first person. The correspondence thus becomes the chronicle of a time of change and the foundation of a friendship that would endure over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEpistolary writing and literary correspondence as a documentary genre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDramaturgical creation in 1970s Catalonia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoetry and diary writing as a response to grief and loss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural history of the Transition in the theatrical and literary sphere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFriendship and intellectual collaboration between two creators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the history of contemporary Catalan theater and literature, as well as those who enjoy epistolary genres and first-hand accounts.
