    The protagonist is disappointed with post-Olympic Barcelona. Back after a long absence, he barely recognizes his city. The novel is more than a simple comparison between an old and a new world. He talks about changing people and their ideals, about the struggle for survival of the Catalan language that has been overwhelmed by Spanish , about the longing for the beauty of a city that falls victim to greedy real estate speculators, about the value of success and failure

  • L'amor a Venècia (2008i)
