L'Esquella De La Torratxa
''L'Esquella de la Torratxa'' was an illustrated satirical weekly magazine, written in Catalan. Published in Barcelona between 1872 and 1939, it was well known for its pro-republican and anti-clerical stance and would become one of the most important Catalan publications of all times. History ''L'Esquella de la Torratxa'', meaning "the cowbell of the turret", was first published on 5 May 1872. It began during an officially-decreed suspension of the publication of ''La Campana de Grà cia'', a more overtly political magazine. It would, however, become very critical of Barcelona mayor Francisco RÃos Taulet and his promotion of the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition which was seen by many as a wasteful extravagancy. The magazine had a succession of directors along its existence, beginning with José Roca Roca, followed by others such as Mario Aguilar, Prudenci Bertrana and Pere Calders. Among the most notable article writers for the magazine were Santiago Rusiñol, under the pe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
