Dioses de época, 1993-2006

The end of felipism and the appearance of Aznarism mark an exciting period of politics, society and journalism in our country. The new century began with the 9/11 attack, Europe erred in its constitutional project, China was growing and the economic prosperity of Spain's real estate boom was entering an impasse. Pujolismo reigned in Catalonia. The writer Valentí Puig, as the author of numerous books and articles, was an exceptional observer of this historical period and a good connoisseur of topics such as pactist Catalanism, the FAES Foundation, the clash of civilizations, European integration and the beginnings of the liberal crisis. Gods of time is at the same time an essayistic memory, a chronicle of the change of customs and a sharp portrait of the characters of the political and cultural life of our country. Through a lively and sometimes irreverent analysis, the author composes the brilliant fresco of an era that, although it seems distant to us, contains all the disturbing elements of the present.
