Epic poem that recreates a Pyrenean legend set during the Reconquista and located in the Canigó massif. Through its images, the work interweaves Catalan identity, the confrontation between Christians and Muslims, and the presence of the landscape as a symbolic element, with deep roots in the tradition and geography of Catalonia.
The work has the subtitle «Llegenda pyrenayca del temps de la reconquesta» and includes illustrations by J. G. Junceda.
For readers of epic poetry and Pyrenean legends set during the Reconquista.
Jacint Verdaguer i Santaló was a Spanish writer and priest, regarded as one of the greatest poets of Catalan literature and a prominent literary figure of the Renaixença, a cultural revival movement of the late Romantic era. The bishop Josep Torras i Bages, one of the main figures of Catalan nationalism, called him the "Prince of Catalan poets". He was also known as mossèn (Father) Cinto Verdaguer, because of his career as a priest, and informally also simply "mossèn Cinto".
