Mountain symbolism in the language of Records de la darrera carlinada, by Marian Vayreda

In this article, I will analyse the symbolic use of the term "mountain" in the literary language of the novel Records de la darrera carlinada ("Memories of the Last Carlist War") by Marian Vayreda. I will explore how
the use of such a term becomes a way to preserve the essence of Vayreda' s thought. Vayreda' s traditionalism and his defence of values inherently linked to his own idea of the "Catalan Nation" become the basis on which the author builds a work where the term "mountain" takes on the significance of the whole - understood as the combination of its people, traditions and landscape - a unified whole symbolizing the foundations of the vertical edifice of the Catalan Nation.
