Estels que encara fan llum

The writer Oriol Pi de Cabanyes brings together some thirty long literary portraits taken from his diary -mostly written during the nineties and unpublished-, the result of his encounters with people -artists and intellectuals, above all- who have marked an era of culture and history, and where we find, among others, Rafael Alberti, Pierre Vilar, Maria Aurèlia Capmany, Octavio Paz, Joan Perucho, Pere Calders, Néstor Luján, Salvador Espriu, Ibáñez Escofet, Miquel Batllori, Baltasar Porcel , Marta Harnecker, Josep Guinovart, Jorge Luis Borges, Guillem Viladot ... In the best tradition of non-fiction prose and essay, the book participates in the literary portrait and the chronicle and, combining anecdotes and ideas, presents a long thirty of situations and characters that survive as references in the world of yesterday.
