Barcelona Llibres

Eduard Molnar and Xavier Albertí recover the huge yet forgotten legacy of popular culture from what was Barcelona’s top theatre avenue until 1939, a heritage that is a unique and great testimony to contemporary Catalan culture. With a range of authors, performers and performances of all kinds, Paral•lel represented a type of modern mass culture that was open to the world for nearly fifty years, and this had a huge effect on the lower classes’ leisure time.
