«Barcelona modernista» is the historical essay by Cristina Mendoza and Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in 2003, in hardback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The book traces the history of Barcelona between the 1888 Universal Exposition and the start of the First World War: a period of splendor and misery, with modernist renewal, social inequality, bohemia, and anarchist bombs. More than an analysis of the artistic movement, it is a portrait of the city in full metamorphosis.
The work belongs to the Biblioteca Eduardo Mendoza collection.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of Barcelona, modernism, and the urban and social changes of the era.
