› Find signed collectible books: 'Barcelonas'Book summary:Barcelona, the exuberant capital of Catalonia and host of the 1992 Olympics, is here explored and exposed by its greatest contemporary author. Manuel Vazquez Montalban's anecdotal history takes us on an imaginary tour of the city, from its most secret corners to its most famous monuments. An erudite and impassioned guide, Montalban finds a controversy in every building, a story in every street, illuminating the city's rich history and turbulent politics, its art, gastronomy and football. There are many Barcelonas, and Montalban knows them all: the lavish art-nouveau houses in Vallvidrera where he himself lives; the labyrinthine squalor of the Barri Xino, setting for Genet's Thief's Journal; the Barri Gotic where the independent Catalan Kingdom between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries created a nationalist consciousness which has endured for half a millennium; the oneiric Parc Guell, designed by the city's most celebrated architect, Antoni Gaudi. But this definitive survey is one unlikely to be endorsed by the Oficina de Turismo. For Montalban is fiercely critical of the values of the new 'Olympic' Barcelona: the misery of the inner-city slums where one person dies every second day from a heroin overdose; the speculation which has compounded overcrowding in a metropolis with the highest population density in Europe; the ravaging of working-class suburbs to make way for an aseptic international centre. Once Europe's most utopian city, Barcelona, he argues, 'has become a market, and everything is up for sale'. For visitors, Barcelonas will prove a stimulating, indispensable companion. And for everyone interested in art and architecture, politics and sport, it will provide an enthralling introduction to the great European city. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Che'Book summary:Cuando se cumplen treinta ańos de su ejecución sumaria en una perdida escuela rural de la selva boliviana, la figura del Che Guevara se ha agigantado hasta convertirse en la de uno de los indiscutibles protagonistas del siglo que está a punto de concluir. Una gran cantidad de libros y trabajos periodísticos sobre el Che se ha ido acumulando en estas décadas, hasta el punto que para muchos lectores resultará difícil en la actualidad separar la realidad histórica de la creciente leyenda del personaje y de su gesta.
Conciente de esta dificultad y del laberinto de hipótesis, Pierre Kalfon tomó hace ańos la decisión de escribir el libro difinitivo sobre el guerrillero más célebre del siglo XX. Para ello dejó de lado toda conclusión previa y se concentró en la lenta y vasta tarea de ir rastreando las fuentes de información originales. El resultado no ha podido ser más excepcional. Casi un millar de páginas rigurosamente documentadas, escritas además con un infatigable ritmo narrativo, en las que la figura del Che Guevara, sus contemporáneos y su tiempo, quedan grabados con la implacable ecuanimidad del historiador y la fascinación de una gran novela.
