Francesc Pujols
Francesc Pujols (Barcelona, 1882 – Martorell, 1962), writer, philosopher, and essayist, was admired and respected by such different people as Salvador Dalí, Joan de Sagarra, and Josep Pla. In Pla’s view, “Pujols was a unique, exceptional, fabulous man who effortlessly combined peerless expressive powers, an enormous vernacular range, and descriptive abilities that, in his day, were perhaps his and his alone”. Among other works, Pujols was the author of El concepte general de la ciència catalana (The General Concept of Catalan Science, 1918) and Història de l’hegemonia catalana en la política espanyola durant el segle XIX (A History of Catalan Hegemony in Nineteenth-Century Spanish Politics, 1926). Quaderns Crema has published a selection of Pujols’ writings, among them a collection of his best journalistic texts, Articles (1983), La visió artística i religiosa d’en Gaudí (1996), and Llibre que conté les poesies d’en Francesc Pujols (Book with the Poems of Francesc Pujols), with a Prologue by Joan Maragall and an Epilogue by Enric Casasses (2004).
