From the back cover:

[quote]JOAN SEGARRA PIJUAN was born in Tárrega, Spain on June 29, 1926. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1942. Seventeen years later he completed his religious and cultural education. On July 29, 1956 – in the Year of Saint Ignatius – he was ordained at the cathedral in Manresa. He has spent much of his life in Veruela, Barcelona, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Palma (Majorca), Raimat, Rome and Manresa and has also lived in a number of countries in Central and South America, Africa and Europe.

He has always been interested in spiritual theology and the study of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. SAINT IGNATIUS AND MANRESA describes the Saint’s sojourn here in a simple, readable style. The footnotes and extensive bibliography will be of particular interest to scholars wishing the study he life of St. Ignatius in greater detail. This book deals only with the months Saint Ignatius spent in Manresa, which may have been the most interesting part of his life: the months of his pilgrimage and his mystical enlightenments. Manresa is at the heart of the Pilgrim’s stay in Catalonia because “between Ignatius and Manresa there is a bond that nothing can break” (Torras y Bages). [/quote]
