Allò that represents Fuster
In this way, Mira departed from the "miracle" Fuster. "How was it possible that a young man from Sueca could stir up an entire society?" The decision to dedicate himself to writing and to do it in Catalan from his town was an unusual event, which exploded with the publication The discredit of reality.
Despite the intellectual precariousness of the time and the scarcity of bibliographical material, but with a prodigious intelligence that was the engine of all his work, Fuster triumphed among the intelligentsia of the time at a very young age.

Fuster. Mira recommended meeting him, not to beatify him by taking his ideas literally, but to debate them and generate new ones.
