Barcelona

Robert Hughes

Barcelona is Robert Hughess monumentally informed and\nirresistibly opinionated guide to the most un-Spanish city in\nSpain. Hughes scrolls through Barcelonas often violent history;\ntells the stories of its kings, poets, magnates, and\nrevolutionaries; and ushers readers through municipal landmarks\nthat range from Antoni Gaudis sublimely surreal cathedral to a\npostmodern restaurant with a glass-walled urinal. The result is a\nwork filled with the attributes of Barcelona itself: proportion,\nhumor, and_seny_– the Catalan word for triumphant common\nsense.
