JORDI PUJOL I ELS JUEUS (Ficción moderna y contemporanea)

Per comprendre millor la totalitat del pensament de Jordi Pujol s'ha de conèixer també la seva relació amb Israel i el sionisme. Cal tenir en compte el paper clau que ha tingut el món jueu en el seu ideari nacionalista i en la seva concepció de Catalunya. Aquest llibre parla de la forta empremta dels amics Tennenbaum en la seva formació i de l'impacte de l'Escola Alemanya durant els anys de la Segona Guerra Mundial. També explica el seu enlluernament davant d'un poble que té una forta voluntat de ser, una arrel espiritual i una gran exigència de tipus moral.Anna Figuera, a més, ha fet el seguiment dels viatges de Jordi Pujol a Israel, de les seves opinions -sovint crítiques- sobre la política israeliana i de la influència d'algunes figures del món jueu i de la mitologia bíblica sobre el seu pensament. El relat incorpora amb gran habilitat anècdotes que il·luminen aquest aspecte sorprenent de la personalitat de Jordi Pujol.

PORQUE PARECE MENTIRA LA VERDAD NUNCA SE SABE (Ficción moderna y contemporanea)

Antes de marcharse de casa definitivamente, Salomón y Papías escupen al rostro de su padre, Trinidad, un tendero avaro y cobarde opuesto a las peligrosas pasiones políticas en las que sus hijos andan envueltos; pues en Remadrín, un pequeño pueblo del desierto, un grupo de desconocidos ha robado las urnas en las narices de los votantes el día mismo de las elecciones. Pero el fraude electoral no queda en secreto. A las protestas multitudinarias en las que participan los hijos de Trinidad, sigue la represión brutal del ejército; los caminos bloqueados; los muertos, los desaparecidos. Pero también se suceden las torpezas y los equívocos propiciados por el siniestro alcalde Romero Pomar, que se resiste a dimitir. Así, mientras se decide su suerte y los espectros deambulan por las calles, un camión de carga en errático bamboleo deja caer un muerto, otro, y otro más, por el sinuoso camino que sale de Remadrín.
