This anthology brings together a selection of narrative texts that reconstruct the history of Catalan exile as a documentary fiction. It includes works such as 'Crist de 200,000 braços' by Agustí Bartra, set in a concentration camp, and stories by Mercè Rodoreda that evoke the French exile. It also presents 'Tots tres surten per l’Ozama' by Vicenç Riera Llorca, which explores the cultural clash in the tropics, and 'Paraules d’Opòton el vell' by Avel·lí Artís-Gener, a pre-Columbian chronicle from the perspective of a Mexican warrior. Other authors included are Pere Calders, Lluís Ferran de Pol, Ramon Vinyes, Cèsar-August Jordana, Xavier Benguerel, and Francesc Trabal. The edition features texts by Maria Campillo and Carlos Guzmán Moncada that analyze the conflict between the European mentality and 'Amèrica furienta', as well as a chronology of the works and authors.
Agustí Bartra i Lleonart was a Spanish poet, writer, translator and University Professor in Catalan language.
