El temps esquerp

The twelve notes that make up this volume are an exercise in inquiry into the present, in understanding this era that Raimon Obiols calls "strange." How should we read current events and those of the last fifty years? There are many possible interpretations and, in any case, the place from which we tell the story is decisive. What lessons should allow us to draw an exciting future and combat political disappointment? Obiols is located at the right distance that gives him having moved away from political action, after more than four decades on the front line. With a clear desire to flee from reductionist polarizations and to suggest other ways of proceeding, throughout the book the author evokes the crises of the present, in the world and in our country, the work of writers and thinkers, as well as the figure of travel companions who have been fundamental in his trajectory. This essay is above all a claim for a clean and constructive policy.
