Poesia in forma de rosa, mai traduïda al català, és una gran aportació als conceptes d’història, memòria, identitat, modernitat i tradició des d’un punt de vista humanístic i universal. Hi trobem la resistència a la llarga persecució ideològica i privada que va viure, el diari de dos processos judicials, els viatges a Àfrica, Aràbia i Israel, el diari de rodatge de Mamma Roma i Il Vangelo secondo Mateo.

«Hi ha el conjunt de les preocupacions de l’autor, el seu univers. No hi falta cap dels grans temes que Pasolini tractarà els propers anys en la seva obra polièdrica» diu Ricard Vinyes al pròleg.

A més, Pasolini va visitar Barcelona als anys 60 i, d’aquell contacte, va sortir un dels poemes més intensos, «Negociacions amb Franco», que adjuntem a l’annex.

Una edició especial per commemorar el centenari del naixement d’un dels intel·lectuals més importants del segle XX.

Poesia in forma de rosa, never translated into Catalan, is a great contribution to the concepts of history, memory, identity, modernity and tradition from a humanistic and universal point of view. He will find the resistance to the long ideological and private persecution that he experienced, the diary of two judicial processes, the trips to Africa, Arabia and Israel, the filming diary of Mamma Roma and the Il Vangelo secondo Mateo.

«There is the whole of the author’s concerns, his universe. None of the great themes that Pasolini will deal with in the following years in his multifaceted work are missing» says Ricard Vinyes in the prologue.

In addition, Pasolini visited Barcelona in the 1960s and, from that contact, one of the most intense poems came out, «Negotiations with Franco», which we include in the appendix.

A special edition to commemorate the centenary of the birth of one of the most important intellectuals of the 20th century.

Foreword by Ricard Vinyes.

Henri Michaux (1899–1984), Belgian artist, cultivated painting, poetry and prose in French. He made travel – both real and imaginary – the central theme of his art. With mescaline, an alkaloid extracted from the peyote cactus, he will experience “the deep sensation of maintaining a mysterious relationship with everything, the deep sensation of living an extracorporeal life out of time, of participating in the Eternity”. Exploration of himself, but above all exploration of poetry.

Michaux marked a whole generation of new writers and creators, also in Catalonia. He was a close friend of the sculptor Apel·les Fenosa, who dedicated a bust to him, and influenced Mercè Rodoreda in works such as The death and the spring and Travels and flowers.

The author
Henri Michaux (Namur, 1899 – Paris, 1984) was a versatile artist born in Belgium, active in the fields of poetry, prose and painting who wrote in French. Very attracted to Eastern cultures, he developed a painting made of calligraphic strokes and signs as if it were a particular alphabet, often made under the effects of psychotropic substances, such as mescaline.

Unable to distinguish writing and painting, both creative records served to weave a universe of a very personal poetics that fascinatingly shows the fissure that separates reality and representation. Michaux understood aesthetic production as a ritual experience, an action that, through the repetition of certain gestures and movements, creates a different time, disconnected from the logic that governs the day to day. This is how throughout his work he developed a tense and rapid style, made of electric shocks, short and agile phrases, and energetic and rhythmic strokes.
