Catalan National Myths

Sunyer, Magí

Catalan National Myths is part of the debate on identities, which is generating widespread controversy in the 21st century. The Catalan Countries and many other nations have used history, literature and other arts to construct their own mythical and symbolic system that brings their citizens together, and distinguishes and identifies them in the global context. This book presents, orders and interprets Catalan national mythology in terms of history, geography and language and is permeated throughout by the democratic spirit.
