Resumen
This paper analyzes Domènec Guansé’s critical attention to travel literature in Catalan newspapers, which experiences a major revival from middle 1920’s to the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. The introduction of that genre in Catalan literature is part of a wider context encouraging all ways of cultural modernity, such as magazines or non-fiction books. Guansé looks in detail at the most outstanding works by Nicolau M. Rubió i Tudurí, Enric Blanco and specially Aurora Bertrana. Her Paradisos oceànics is a milestone in travel books, both for its quality and documentary value and for non-literary issues: primarily the writer’s female condition (paradigm of the new cultural role that women have to play) and the cosmopolitanism that it adds to literary circles.
