• Resumen

  • In the novel Crist de 200.000 braços (1974), the Catalan writer Agustí Bartra narrates the experience of four fellow prisoners at the French internment camp of Argelès-sur-Mer. The novel aims to recreate the tragic episode as a way to inscribe it in History while skilfully interweaving description and historic events. However, Bartra's novel differs from other writings on the subject in that the tone and register are highly elaborated and poetic in intent. This article dicussess the tension between poetry and depiction in his work while commenting the novel as a unique example within the corpora of Catalan concentrationary literature
