Els mestres

In this new book, Jordi Llovet pays tribute to the teachers who were decisive in his personal and intellectual formation. Jordi Llovet makes a portrait of Miquel Batllori, José Manuel Blecua, Martí de Riquer, José María Valverde and Antoni Comas. They are very vivid portraits, full of juicy anecdotes and occasional gossip, written with a great sense of humor and irony, containing deep reflections on the art of teaching, what the humanities are and what university education should be. And a passionate vindication of that 'wise and dialoguing brotherhood, incardinated in the social life of the city and the country, and dedicated to something more than the transmission of archived knowledge'. In short, a feast of intelligence.
