A real literature book,
By A Customer
This review is from: LA Ciudad De Los Prodigios (Biblioteca breve) (Paperback)

DO NOT USE IT AS TABLE NIGHT BOOK. If you do so, you will not sleep for the entire night, because you will be reading it. In my opinion these book is not so good as 'Sin noticias de Gurb' but the quality of the vocabulary, the decription of the personages and the treatment of the situations make of this book one of the best of the spanish literature of the last 20 years.

The main character is a city, and its name is Barcelona,
By A Customer
This review is from: LA Ciudad De Los Prodigios (Biblioteca breve) (Paperback)
This book is incredible. It is full of clues to understand the aim and the soul of actual Barcelona, from the roots of the past. For those that have visited Barcelona, a way to re-encounter the charming feeling of this marvelous city.

This review is from: LA Ciudad De Los Prodigios (Biblioteca breve) (Paperback)
One of the best books of this outstanding spanish author. Enjoy Barcelona and spanish way of life in the latest 19th century. Please be sure you take a look to another Mendoza's book, GURB a hilarious short story where an alien makes himself look like Marta Sanchez,8 the spanish Samantha Fox... in a way... )
