The author said that the current political situation in Spain and, in particular, Catalonia, encouraged him to accept the invitation to recover his work. “I considered that the personality of Francesc Camb\u00f3 is as powerful today or more than three decades ago, while he can be an excellent reference for many citizens, especially young people. I would highlight Camb\u00f3’s exceptional preparation, oratorical skills, power of conviction, humanistic vocation, iron will and tenacity, balanced and moderate spirit… man of action and thought”, said Buqueras.<\/p>\n

“Camb\u00f3 was in his time a new and renovating man who could have contributed to a profound transformation in Spain, but who cut short a serious illness. He never left anyone indifferent. He had strong supporters, along with those who shouted “Die Camb\u00f3!”. He was a Catalanist, who never considered the ideas of Catalonia and Spain opposed”, said the author.<\/p>\n

\"FrancescThe work approaches the personal and political figure of Camb\u00f3 at different stages of his life and his work, within its historical, geographic, socioeconomic and political context. There are also several chapters dedicated to testimonies, interviews and correspondence. Very important is the contribution of his daughter, Helena Camb\u00f3<\/strong>. In addition to those of figures such as Gregorio Mara\u00f1\u00f3n<\/strong>, Salvador de Madariaga<\/strong>, Manuel Fraga Iribarne<\/strong>, Jordi Pujol<\/strong>, Josep Tarradellas<\/strong> or Carlos Ferrer-Salat<\/strong>, among others.<\/p>\n
