«Antoni Gaudí» is the biography of the architect Antoni Gaudí written by Gijs van Hensbergen, published by Debolsillo in paperback (347 pages, in Spanish).
It traces Gaudí's life and places his work in the context of Catalan modernism and Barcelona's cultural and economic boom at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It analyses works such as Casa Batlló, Park Güell and the Sagrada Família, and his personal evolution towards an ascetic religiosity.
The original work, 'Gaudi: A Biography', was published in 2001; this Spanish edition, translated by Patricia Antón, appeared in 2002.
Recommended for those interested in modernist architecture, the history of Barcelona and biographies of great figures.
