Catalonia : a cultural history Tekijä: Michael Eaude
Some parts of this were interesting, but his writing made it difficult to like and sometimes difficult to follow. He took weird side notes, provided too much detail about some things and not enought about others, and jumped from topic to topic so I wasn't always sure what time period or place he was talking about. He did use the word "dank" a lot, which I liked. He also has a chapter which prominently features Spanish mushroom gathering techniques and the cava -making process, which was also cool. Also gave a nice intro to the Barcelona based artists whose work I Will be viewing. Read for a class to prepare for a trip to Barcelona.… (lisätietoja)

This is a solid, compact overview of Catalonia, its history, literature, architecture, art, music and cuisine. At times it reads like a textbook; however, it is never dry. In some places, e.g., its sections on Barcelona, it could serve as a guidebook. The book is a good one for structuring and organizing what you may already know about this section of Spain, It also introduces you to many other writers and books on the subject. For this reason, it is a resource that I will dip into repeatedly.
