Let's understand each other, please.

Ramon Llull is one of the founding and primordial authors of Catalan literature and, even in this chaotic and exciting 21st century, both his figure and his work invite us to fertile dialogues that do not, in any case, renounce prolific conflict. The people who form part of the Barcino Publishing team know this, and that is why they have wanted two contemporary and absolutely essential creators of the current panorama, such as Sebastià Alzamora and Vicenç Llorca, to perpetuate and expand the legacies of the crazy and speak as equals. The illustrious Llucmajorer recovers a precious version of the Book of friend and beloved which includes an epilogue by Arnau Vives. In the case of the writer born in Barcelona, ​​connected to the poetics of the Besòs and established in the Maresme, Let us understand each other by love, a volume that takes off from sixty-five Lullian verses to build 'lyrical essays', admirable excuses that make up an intellectually stimulating and emotionally overwhelming book.

In this work, Vicenç Llorca engages in an intimate and meditative conversation with one of the fundamental voices of our literary tradition, establishing a series of happy complicities that include other guests: from Pessoa to Verdaguer, including Foix. Through short prose pieces of high poetic density, the author explores love, faith, and literature in an era marked by dispersion and confusion. The result is an imaginary conversation that manages to capture the light of hope and the beauty of creation amidst the furious noise of today. Like other vibrant essays by Lorca, such as the one dedicated to his teacher and friend Màrius Sampere, Let us understand each other by love It ultimately becomes a balanced exercise, one of the most delightful tributes that can be dedicated to the power of poetry as an awakener of souls and a pillar of existence. In this way, the writer builds a bridge between centuries and eras, a link that allows us to establish affinities between ancient wisdom and modern sensibility. These pages inspire a profound admiration for the word as a path of revelation and as an instrument for understanding otherness, and Simone Weil once said that understanding others, empathizing with them, is an act of love.

Indeed, thanks to this symbolic exchange, love becomes a creative force and a principle of unity, a compass that guides us in the face of the fragility of the world. Reading thus opens up as a space for encounter and recognition. With clear and intense writing, Vicenç Llorca manages to transform measured, yet exalted, thought into a divine act. Let us understand each other by love It is a magnificent book that reminds us that reviving tradition remains an inspiring challenge, an act of responsibility, and a true human victory in confusing times.
