Laura in the City of Saints is an undeniable classic of 20th century Catalan fiction. It tells the story of an attractive, inexperienced woman who hopes to fulfil herself by marriage to a rich heir from a provincial city: Comarquinal. But she soon sees the hidden hypocrisy of a sanctimonious, self-interested, pious society.

A woman travels from Geneva to Lausanne to visit her son. Through the window of the train, her memories slide inexorably over the lake’s surface. In spite of the passage of time, some memories retain their ability to harm us. Like the moment we begin to lose the person we love.

This practical and easy to read book is structured in five main sections. The first takes a conceptual approach to conflict, the ideas associated with it and its causes. The second looks at mediation as the preferred, though by no means the only way of seeking solutions.
