He witnessed and wrote about some of the twentieth-century\u0026amp;#x2019;s most notable events including the Spanish Civil War and the foundation of the state of Israel. Due to a lack of translations of his work he is only now being discovered by the international audience and will soon join the ranks of major realist writers in world literature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eJosep Pla, \u003c\/i\u003eJoan Ramon Resina teases out the writer\u0026amp;#x2019;s deep-seated intellectual concerns and challenges the assumption of Pla as an anti-intellectual. Resina condenses Pla\u0026amp;#x2019;s forty-seven volumes of work, including travel books, narrative fiction, and history, into eleven thematic units: including time, memory, perception, life, religion, metaphysics, utopia, and self-delusion. Resina acutely explores the writer\u0026amp;#x2019;s authorial gaze and invites the reader to see the world through the eyes of one of the most underappreciated observers and writers of the twentieth-century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
