Barcelona (ENG)

Leading us up and down Las Ramblas, from the heights of Montjui¨c to the fading evening light of the Gothic Quarter, the book also touches on the novels and writers that have described Barcelona, the legacy of Antoni Gaudi´, the elusive perspective of Pepe Carvalho, and the authorÆs lost memories in his home district of Horta-Guinardo´. Zano´n paints an intimate portrait of the city while artist Lara Costafreda illustrates the human, cosmopolitan side of a mixed-heritage, cultured, contradictory capital that exudes an air of perpetual change.
