In Distant Lands

Original Title: En tierra ajena

Anyone going into exile leaves behind people, places, landscapes and objects, all of them inseparable from personal experiences and memories. Josep Solanes, begins this lovely text by speaking of the need to reflect upon his own reality in order to explore and fathom the figure of the expatriate as a paradigm of the human condition. Through a range of philosophical and literary works, he identifies the true dimensions of the experience of being uprooted, revealing it in all its ambivalence, and offering the reader his beautiful, lucid, timeless thoughts on exile.
