“C’est une chanson”… A Pere Rovira, grata memoria

This volume is a homage to Pere Rovira Planas and it is organized in several sections. The first one contains twelve literary studies: some devoted to the literary work of Pere Rovira in various genres (poetry, novel, journal, essay) while others deal with topics related to him (the morning poetry, Alphonse de Lamartine and his love relationship with Valentine, Gabriel Ferrater, Jaime Gil de Biedma). The second section includes translations –into English, French, Latin and Spanish– of seventeen poems and a short prose by our author. The third section crowns this collecta grato animo with portraits and evocations that colleagues, friends and former disciples wanted to offer to Pere Rovira. A bibliographic album, an interview and a minimal anthology of Rovirian writings (illustrated by the artist Jordi Jové in a fold-out) complete the book.
