Faced with the approaching horror, the girl began to chronicle in a diary what was happening in her home and in her neighborhood in a Barcelona besieged by aerial and naval bombardments. Often compared to \u003cem\u003eThe Diary of Anne Frank\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003eWith a Girl's Eyes\u003c\/em\u003e stands out for having been written four years earlier and for its author's less tragic fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eEncarnació began her notes on June 19, 1936, the day after General Franco rebelled against the left-wing republican government, triggering the Civil War. Living in Barcelona, she continued writing until 1938, a year before Franco's victory. In pages brimming with innocence, lucidity, and a penetrating capacity for observation, she describes everything from the initial enthusiasm for a war that was supposed to last four days to the almost daily and routine presence of militiamen who become soldiers, news from the front lines, and the deaths of friends and comrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe author's experience is painful. Her accounts detail the harsh routine of the girl and her family. Forced to drop out of school and help her parents with all the household chores, in addition to facing long lines for bread, potatoes, and other staples like coffee and sugar—food rationing intensified as the end of the conflict approached—Encarnació lost her childhood and part of her adolescence. She recounts the fear of air raids and the shame of walking the streets in rags, common circumstances during the war, but which leave deep scars on those who experience them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAfter the Civil War, due to the poverty that ravaged the country, Martorell was forced to permanently abandon her studies and begin working. But there are also small satisfactions, sweetness, and joys, because, despite the difficulties, Encarnació loves life and has a positive outlook. This diary, with its more than one hundred entries, is filled with reflections written with the purity of spirit of a girl between childhood and adolescence, and is a hymn to universal peace, love, and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDuring the three years of war, Encarnació matured, and feelings and affections awakened within her. Her parents never knew about the diary she kept, and the papers remained hidden in a drawer in the house where she lived for over 70 years, only being discovered a few years ago. Thanks to writer Salvador Domènech, who encouraged the publication of this book, we have access to this unique account, one of the clearest contributions to Barcelona and Catalonia at war, a true gem that contains a true description of a dark chapter in Spain's recent history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159690428668,"sku":"9788501091017","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d6affe259f42815eeb832a7af3eb6f88.jpg?v=1778324059"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/encarnacio-martorell-i-gil.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
