Customer Reviews

An insightful, nuanced view of Catalan national identity

Well written account of the author's time in Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia which demonstrates a unique sensitivity to issues of national identity. Worthwhile reading for outsiders trying to make sense of the wonderful part of Europe that is Catalunya-the land of Casals, Miró, Dalí- and understand their artistic and cultural milieu.

Homage to Barcelona

Excellent book for those traveling to Barcelona for the first time. Well written with excellent details on the cultural and political history over the past century. Good review of Picasso ,Miro and Casals love this book!
