Homage to Barcelona
Colm Tóibín
Written with deep knowledge and affection, Homage to Barcelona is a sensuous and beguiling portrait of a great Mediterranean city.
It celebrates Barcelona as a cosmopolitan city of vibrant architecture and art, great churches and museums, intriguing port life, extravagant nightclubs, restaurants, and bars. It moves from the
story of the city's founding, and huge expansion in the nineteenth century, to the lives of Gaudí, Míro, Casals, and Dalí. It also examines 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.
