About this product

Product Information

A monumentally informed and irresistibly opinionated guide to the most un-Spanish city in Spain, from the bestselling author of The Fatal Shore . In these pages, Robert Hughes scrolls through Barcelona's often violent history; tells the stories of its kings, poets, magnates, and revolutionaries; and ushers readers through municipal landmarks that range from Antoni Gaudi's sublimely surreal cathedral to a postmodern restaurant with a glass-walled urinal. The result is a work filled with the attributes of Barcelona itself: proportion, humor, and seny --the Catalan word for triumphant common sense.

Very happy with customer service, packing and shipping. Book has more markups than described in info tho, sometimes several lines that take up almost half the page, which is a bit sad. However, considering the price that’s quite fair so I’m happy!
