The Lions of Catalunya
by Jeremy D. Rowe
Through twelve generations of the Blanxart family, The Lions of Catalunya follows the tumultuous story of Barcelona. From bloody open warfare and unexpected terrorist atrocities, through plague and family trials, via joyous celebrations of a unique culture, this fast-paced history of Barcelona as experienced by one family involved in every twist and turn of fate, reflects modern world challenges and forms a powerful background to the independence debate. The vibrant Barcelona region has a long and rich history, and its current quest for independence is based on this graphic and gripping history.
