Costa Carreras Joan (ed.) The Architect of Modern Catalan. Pompeu Fabra (1868-1948)

Benjamins, 2009. — 240 p.Pompeu Fabra is a key figure for the Catalan language and its culture. He is regarded as the ordenador, the person who put modern Catalan in order. His work on reconstructing the language – as a means of communication and also, especially, as a sign of identity – made him one of the outstanding personalities in the movement of Noucentisme which energised and defined the direction of Catalan nationalism from the beginning of the twentieth century.General presentation (Joan Costa Carreras).
