La ciudad violenta

"Serial killers, anarchists and dazzling blondes: the Catalan capital is a mutant entity, and each decade has had one or more valid murders as a metaphor for its situation". From gunmen to Urquinaona, Jordi Corominas serves up on a platter the crude history of protests, violence and demonstrations in Barcelona, from the 19th century to the present day, based on a clear message: Every decade of the last century in Barcelona has one or more crimes capable of summarizing the context of the city in that historical moment, from the political to the social, to draw a map of the unusual Catalan capital through connections with the present based on a clear premise: to understand the present from the past.
