        The construction of regional identities in Spain, France and Germany, 1890-1939

        by Eric Storm

        Many of the existing regional topics were forged in the late 19th or early 20th century. Painters, architects and international exhibitions -such as those in Barcelona and Seville- played a crucial role in the definition and visualization of the idiosyncratic character of each region. This pioneering book compares the process of building regional identities in Spain with that of France and Germany, showing that regionalist paintings, houses and pavilions were generally interpreted as a sample of (regional) diversity within the (national) unit. The culture of regionalism was therefore part of a new phase of the nationalization process, while its relations with the various regional movements were weak.

        The House as a Garden

        by Xavier Monteys

        A cross between an academic article and ingenious reflection in a journalistic style, in this book the concept of the house is extended to the garden, not only in a literal sense, but also metaphorical: houses with gardens, gardens inside houses, the house understood as a garden. The journey includes well known historical examples as well as rarities from architects such as Le Corbusier, Lina Bo Bardi and Bernard Rudofsky to popular or anonymous architecture to expand upon the idea of the house and garden.

        Perder

        by Francisco Cabezas

        Carlos García is told in the newspaper that his name is too common. For this reason, when he begins to write the chronicles of FC Barcelona, he signs as K. Behind the mask of the pseudonym, the student who dreamed of newsrooms engulfed in smoke and screams at closing time begins his promising career without having left university. But dreams are seldom made of real material. Between football stadiums, ballpoint pen caps and lonely hotel rooms, K. imposes on himself a happiness that he will never own. The rise and fall of a legendary team, the decrepitude of a profession that only finds refuge in the big headlines and some journalists who hide behind their screens set a chronicle of chronicles in which the final result remains to be discovered. Soccer players, journalism or K. Who will accept the final defeat?
