Pujol: todo era mentira (1930-1962)
“Nuestro propósito ha sido desenmascarar a Pujol precisamente en cuanto se refiere a aquella época, la menos conocida de su vida –no le faltan motivos para esconderla, tal como veremos– y que resulta fundamental para hacerse una idea cabal del personaje y poder interpretar su actuación posterior. Es en sus años de infancia y de juventud donde están muchas de las claves para descifrar su existencia. Él mismo afirmó en relación a esta época que «este primer volumen [de sus Memorias] explica cómo se fue creando una personalidad». Es la llave de paso a su pensamiento y acción política, pues, como dijo él mismo, «no se podría entender nada de mi quehacer político y social ...

Balañá, el mayor espectáculo del mundo
El mundo del espectáculo del siglo XX evolucionó desde la emoción en vivo de las corridas de toros, los combates de boxeo y el circo hasta la simulación del riesgo en las películas de aventuras de Hollywood. En esta transición hacia una sociedad del espectáculo, nadie en Barcelona entendió los gustos del público como Pedro Balañá Espinós (1883-1965), uno de los más grandes empresarios españoles del mundo del entretenimiento y, a partir de ahora, uno de los mejor estudiados. El periodista Josep Guixà ha dedicado un lustro a sumergirse en las luces y sombras de un hombre que supo manejarse con habilidad con los políticos para forjar su obra (fue concejal del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona en dos regímenes distintos) y cuyo legado ha perdurado varias generaciones. De las vaquerías en su barrio natal de Sants al matadero, de la venta de carne de toro de lidia en los mercados municipales a la creación de un imperio taurino, de los montajes líricos y circenses en la plaza Monumental a las grandes salas de cine, la vida de Balañá es un espectáculo en sí mismo.

The Cult of St Thomas Becket in the Plantagenet World, C.1170-c.1220
The extraordinary growth and development of the cult of St Thomas Becket is investigated here, with a particular focus on its material culture. Thomas Becket - the archbishop of Canterbury cut down in his own cathedral just after Christmas 1170 - stands amongst the most renowned royal ministers, churchmen, and saints of the Middle Ages. He inspired the work of medieval writers and artists, and remains a compelling subject for historians today. Yet many of the political, religious, and cultural repercussions of his murder and subsequent canonisation remain to be explored in detail. This book examines the development of the cult and the impact of the legacy of Saint Thomas within the Plantagen...

Más grueso que el papel
The Palacio de Congresos de Catalunya-the Catalan Conference Center-is one of Carlos Ferrater's most recent works, created in collaboration with Jose M. Cartana. This monograph on the buidling is an exhaustive analysis of the construction process, from the planning phase to its actual completion. As such, it will be a valuable book for those involved in the design of public buildings, as Ferrater is at the forefront of contemporary architecture. The building itself is divided into three sections, separated from each other by two interior streets that provide natural light for the rooms. The main entrance has a large vestibule and a hall with an amphitheater for 2,500 conference-goers. The central section can be subdivided into a multitude of smaller rooms and is reserved for more varied uses. The third and smallest section houses the cafeteria, offices, and other ancillary spaces.
