The book explores the mechanisms that sustain the human spirit when all seems lost through philosophy, literature and human experience, and delves further into the subject matter of the academic\u2019s two previous publications, <strong>\u201cLa Paraula que em sost\u00e9\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cNo hi ha paraules. Com assumir la mort d&#8217;un fill\u201d<\/strong>, in which he shares the grief over the tragic death of his 26-year-old son <strong>Oriol<\/strong> in a mountain accident during a crossing in which he was accompanying him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven for a believer, in extreme situations, the concept of God falters. Hope is the struggle against adversity, a transversal and necessary human value for developing any project in your life, because you have no guarantee that it will end well. Then you are left with nothing. And if you also do not have a god to sustain you, the void arrives,\u201d reflects the academic in conversation with journalist <strong>Ima Sanch\u00eds<\/strong>. Torralba maintains that the great lesson of life is learning to lose, because sooner or later one loses health, youth, loved ones and, finally, one\u2019s own life. And faced with this inescapable reality, he defends humility as an essential virtue.<\/p>\n<p>From his vital and intellectual learning, he concludes that hope is not born from speeches or slogans, but from testimony shared in community. He stresses that this hope is neither expectation nor self-deception, but rather a wager without guarantees: trusting amid uncertainty, while recognising one\u2019s own limits. Torralba also criticises what he defines as the verbal incontinence of today\u2019s society, which offers opinions on the pain of others without having experienced it, and the existential weariness caused by the lack of purpose. He illustrates the importance of giving meaning to life with a real case from an ethics committee: a 90-year-old widower stopped eating in a nursing home until he was given seeds to plant; that small purpose restored his will to live.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the thinker addresses the figure of <strong>Antoni Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> and the completion of the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in his latest articles for the newspaper <strong>\u201cEl Punt Avui.\u201d<\/strong> In <strong>\u201cThe Tower of Jesus Christ,\u201d<\/strong> he explains the symbolism of the temple\u2019s verticality, which is already the tallest in Christendom. \u201cVerticality is essential in the Sagrada Familia and symbolically expresses two movements in the symbolic sphere: the descent of God to earth, His coming down to our level to show us who He is and, at the same time, the elevation of the human being above worldly concerns. The tower has a symbolic function quite analogous to that of the staircase and the column. It allows us to take distance from the low earth, in the words of <strong>\u00c0ngel Guimer\u00e0<\/strong>, and rise to the high earth, the land of pure thoughts and noble values. The symbolism of the tower, through its height, evokes a spiritual meaning. By its vertical position, it evokes its will to unite heaven with earth, the transcendent with the immanent. The fact that it contains the bell tower symbolises the call to prayer,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>\u201cGaud\u00ed and Eugeni d&#8217;Ors,\u201d<\/strong> meanwhile, he recalls some of the reflections of the author of <em>Glossari<\/em> on the architect from Reus. \u201c<strong>Eugeni d&#8217;Ors<\/strong> places Antoni Gaud\u00ed in a visionary position, suggesting that his ideas on architecture are ahead of his time. Rather than being a simple representative of the currents of his period, X\u00e8nius sees in Gaud\u00ed someone who anticipates a new way of building and conceiving space, in which architecture is part of a larger symbolic system. For Eugeni d&#8217;Ors, Antoni Gaud\u00ed creates a new architecture of the future in which art, technique and spirituality are in perfect harmony. Eugeni d&#8217;Ors highlights the individualistic and unique character of Antoni Gaud\u00ed, who does not submit to the prevailing trends or influences of his time. In this sense, the Catalan architect appears as an iconoclast, someone who, although connected to his tradition and local culture, goes beyond the limits imposed by any artistic school,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-180811 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/raed.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/esperanza-cruz-cristiana-Dios-religion-shutt-1.67.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raed.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/esperanza-cruz-cristiana-Dios-religion-shutt-1.67.webp 600w, https:\/\/raed.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/esperanza-cruz-cristiana-Dios-religion-shutt-1.67-440x264.webp 440w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" \/>A teacher and communicator of Christian humanism in major Catalan media outlets such as <strong>Catalunya R\u00e0dio<\/strong> and the newspapers <strong>\u201cLa Vanguardia\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cEl Punt Avui,\u201d<\/strong> the academic is the author of notable books such as <strong>\u201cEl sentit de la vida\u201d<\/strong> (2008), <strong>\u201cNo passeu de llarg\u201d<\/strong> (2010), <strong>\u201cEl valor de tenir valors\u201d<\/strong> (2012), <strong>\u201cUn mar d\u2019emocions\u201d<\/strong> (2013), <strong>\u201cC\u00f3rrer per pensar i sentir\u201d<\/strong> (2015), <strong>\u201cSaber dir no\u201d<\/strong> (2016) and <strong>\u201cM\u00f3n vol\u00e0til\u201d<\/strong> (2018).
