FAmily matters

Classified in History

Written on in English with a size of 2.18 KB

The short story “The Force of Circumstances” symbolizes the British imperialism.

With the figure of Guy, the protagonist of the story, the author wants to personificate the British colonization in Malaysia.

Written on in English with a size of 2.41 KB

Producció poètica de Salvador Espriu

Salvador Espriu i Castelló va ser un poeta, dramaturg i novel·lista català. A causa de la Guerra Civil, fou un altre escriptor oficinista. L'obra d'Espriu, caracteritzada per la mescla d'un intel·lectualisme extrem i d'un descriptivisme sovint càustic, té una gran singularitat.

En el seu primer llibre de poesia, Espriu va evocar el món destruït per la guerra. Els quatre llibres següents formen l'anomenat cicle líric.

Aquests llibres tracen un camí d'interiorització que culmina amb l'experiència mística, segons la qual Déu es comporta com un cec respecte a la humanitat.

La posició mística de Final del laberint canvià en La pell de brau. La poesia d'Espriu va ser qualificada com a realista.... Continue reading "Poesia de Salvador Espriu i Poesia Catalana Actual" »

Architecture: Beyond Creative Design

A lot of people think that being an architect is all about designing, but they tend to forget that it takes more than just creativity to succeed. To thrive in the architectural profession, you must be able to think outside the box. The process of designing and constructing a building is long and complex.
