There are around four hundred passageways in Barcelona and the author of this book explores them all to bring us a vision of them hitherto unknown of places such as Horta laundries, the Napoleon photographic company, publishing houses such as Tasso, painters, booksellers, shopkeepers, architects and writers. The book is also a dialogue between Barcelona and other cities such as Venice, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires and London. The result: a combination of essays, travelogue, autobiography and journalism, which make up this passionate factual novel.
