Francisco José Franco Fernández, one of the four official chroniclers of Cartagena, presents this Friday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the activities of Cartagena Piensa, his book 'The Modernist Dream: La Unión y Cartagena, 1874-1936' .
The event will take place at the Casino del Llano del Beal and will be presented by José Haro Fernández.
The Modernist Cultural Association of Cartagena de Levante collaborates.
The work goes into the historical aspects of politics, economy, society and culture, which were lived in Cartagena and La Unión in the period between the end of the Cantonal War and the Second Republic, which coincides with the apogee of mining and the development of the modernist movement.
The novelty of this publication lies in the joint analysis of both cities having as a thread the boom and the crisis of mining, industrial development, social problems, political evolution and the construction of a great intellectual and artistic movement coinciding with the Modernist stage and whose protagonists were personalities such as Miguel Hernández, María Cegarra, Carmen Conde and Antonio Oliver.
