I wish I had read it before I went to Barcelona,
This review is from: Homage to Barcelona (Paperback)
This is a delightful book and a joy to read. It's wonderful mix of many aspects of Barcelona (e.g., history, architecture, food, lifestyle) and some nearby places. Makes me want to return to Barcelona very soon. I'll understand it better next time thanks to this book.

An insightful, nuanced view of Catalan national identity,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Homage to Barcelona (Paperback)
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.
