A history and celebration of the Catalan capital.
Colm Toibin’s Homage to Barcelona celebrates the cosmopolitan hub, vibrant architecture, art scene, culture and nightlife of the Spanish city. Written with knowledge and affection, the book moves from the story of Barcelona’s founding and its huge expansion in the nineteenth century to the lives of Gaudí, Miró, Picasso, Casals and Dalí. It also explores the history of Catalan nationalism, the tragedy of the Civil War, the Franco years and the transition from dictatorship to democracy which Colm Tóibín witnessed in the 1970s.
