New books from Edicions Documenta Balear

Edicions Documenta Balear will soon present four new books. The first, "Montuïri. L'esclafit de la crispació", by Guillem Mas and Antoni Mateu, is part of the collection "Guerra Civil a Mallorca. Poble a Poble" and analyses the evolution of the municipal policy since the beginning of the XX century, marked by the bipartidism between liberals and conservatives.

The two following books are included in the collection "Quaderns d'Història Contemporània de les Balears". The tittles are "La Cultura a Eivissa i Formentera (siglos XIX i XX)", by Isidor Marí, that summarizes the literary, humanistic, intellectual and artistic activity of the Pitiüses islands from the end of the Ancient Regime to the period that started with the approval of the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands in 1983; and "El regnat de Ferran VII a Mallorca", by Manuel Ferrer Flórez, that describes the sharp interruption that represented the reign of Fernando VII (1814-1833) in the process of liberal revolution initiated by the Cortes de Cádiz.

The fourth book that will be presented this Autumn by Documenta Balear is "L'origen de la Caixa de Balears. Els projectes d'una burgesia modernitzadora" by Isabel Peñarrubia, within the collection Manjavents. This work stars a varied group of bourgeois people that, together with entities such as the Ateneu Balear and the Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de las Balears "Sa Nostra", guided the economical and political modernisation in the Balearic Islands during the second half of the XX century.
