Summary

There was a very real poetry in the way war is reported, fueled in Catalonia by the institutions during the civil war. The main Catalan war stories, that is, the works by Calders, Artis-Gener or Sales show a daily view of wartime experiences, usually with a notable immersion into the reality of the lives of frontline soldiers. More than ideological proclamations, what the reader will find is actually a description of a war far removed from idealized or artistic mystifications.
