Abstract

In his Llibre de Fortuna i Prudència (end of 14th c.) Bernat Metge makes ample use of the water imagery. The main character departs from the port of Barcelona in a small boat and is lost at sea in the midst of a furious storm; he spends time in a remote island surrounded by dangerous waters and criss-crossed by rivers; and returns to the safe haven of the Barcelona waters.
