Writer Aleix Sarri presented his latest book, Ànima de República, this March at the Sort Public Library, offering a political chronicle of Catalonia between the 15th and 18th centuries.

The event featured historian Josep M. Bringué, who praised the rigorous research behind this work published by Comanegra. The book, currently in its third edition, covers key periods such as the Reapers' War and the War of the Spanish Succession in 1714.

"The impulse to write the book came from the events of 2017, which led me to want to know if such serious events had parallels in the past."

The presentation also highlighted the figure of Hug Roger III, the last Count of Pallars. Sarri explained that the book focuses on the concept of resistance rather than victimhood, exploring the historical cycle of Catalan politics.
