The city is famous for its painters, modernist architecture, style of football, and its history, but as Peter Bush reveals it has always been a major centre of literary talent and creativity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBarcelona Tales\u003c\/em\u003e presents a selection of newly translated short stories by 14 writers, many of them Catalan. The stories explore the themes of migration and class conflict in a city renowned in world literature from the day rural innocents Don Quixote and Sancho Panza visited its streets at the beginning of the seventeenth-century, and witnessed the wonders of the printing press and the cruelties of slavery. Together, they open up the city in ironic, tragic, and lyrical ways, inviting readers to explore fictional lives and literary styles that reflect the dynamic, conflict-ridden character and history of this great European city.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Barcelona Tales | Helen Constantine | Paperback | 9780198798378 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks G 1746720","offer_id":48842585047192,"sku":"1746720","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81u1P5p4N1L.jpg?v=1775235896","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/barcelona-tales","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
