Barcelona

Author/s: Isabel Vallès Audouard and Laura Pastor Durán
Co-edition with: Albertí Editor

This book looks at a part of Barcelona’s history through the homes of a few of its leading citizens. We find out what society was like, who lived in these buildings and what they did, who they were designed and built by, what these houses represented within the context of the city, and so on. These short stories evoke an important period of enormous change for the country, characterised by the transformation from an essentially agricultural society to an urbanised industrial world, with all the upheavals that these changes brought about, as a way of understanding where we have come from and where we are going.
