Eduardo Mendoza's classic novel about the birth of Barcelona as a world city, embodied in the rise of the ambitious and unscrupulous Onofre Bouvila"Though historical in subject matter, this story of Catalonian enterprise and Barcelonan ambition is thoroughly contemporary in spirit" Jonathan FranzenStung by the realisation that his father is a fraud and a failure, Onofre Bouvila leaves a life of rural poverty to seek his fortune in Barcelona.The year is 1888, and the Catalan capital is about to emerge from provincial obscurity to take its place amongst the great cities of the world, thanks to the upcoming Universal Exhibition. Thanks to a tip-off from his landlord's daughter, Onofre gets his big break distributing anarchist leaflets to workers preparing for the World Fair. From these humble beginnings, he branches out as a hair-tonic salesman, a burglar, a filmmaker, an arms smuggler and a political dealmaker, in a multifaceted career that brings him wealth and influence beyond his wildest dreams.But, just as Barcelona's rise makes it a haven for gangsters, crooks and spivs, vice begins to fester in Onofre's heart. And the climax to his remarkable story will come just as a second World Fair in 1929 marks the city's apotheosis.Translated from the Spanish by Nick Caistor - E-bokEngelska, 2022

"A funny, gripping and perfectly balanced blend of P.G. Wodehouse, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene" Independent"Highly enjoyable read" SpectatorAnthony Whitelands, an English art historian, is invited to Madrid to value the collection of a Spanish duke. At a welcome lunch he encounters José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder and leader of the Falange, a nationalist party whose antics are bringing the country ever closer to civil war. The paintings turn out to be worthless, but before Whitelands can leave for London the duke's daughter Paquita reveals a secret and genuine treasure, held for years in the cellars of her ancestral home. Afraid that the duke will cash in his wealth to finance the Falange, the Spanish authorities resolve to keep a close eye on the Englishman, who is also being watched by his own embassy. As Whitelands - ever a fool for a pretty face - vies with Primo de Rivera for Paquita's affections, he learns of a final interested party: Madrid is crawling with Soviet spies, and Moscow will stop at nothing to secure the hidden prize.Translated from the Spanish by Nick Caistor - E-bokEngelska, 2013

»Ein literarisches Antidepressivum« CosmopolitanZwei Außerirdische landen mit ihrem Raumschiff im Barcelona des Jahres 1992. Der Kapitän und sein Techniker Gurb reisen bereits seit hunderten von Jahren gemeinsam durchs All. Sie sind inzwischen nicht nur Kollegen, sondern auch gute Freunde. Doch als sie in Barcelona landen, wo die Menschen sich auf die olympischen Spiele vorbereiten, verschwindet Gurb beim ersten Kontakt mit der »Lebensform der Zone«...Gurb ist weg und der Kapitän muss immer wieder in seinem Logbuch notieren: Nichts Neues von Gurb. Am nächsten Tag macht er sich also auf den Weg, um seinen Freund zu suchen. Dabei nimmt er, genau wie Gurb auch, eine menschliche Gestalt an. Doch er muss sich erst an die Welt gewöhnen, in die er da gestolpert ist. Bereits am ersten Morgen schreibt er in das Logbuch: 08:01: Von einem Corsa überfahren. 08:02: Von einem Lieferwagen überfahren. 08:05: von einem Taxi überfahren. Und so nähert der unsterbliche Alien sich der menschlichen Zivilisation langsam an, während er Unmengen von Churros isst und versucht, seinen Freund aufzuspüren. Auf der Suche nach Gurb bleibt kein Stein auf dem anderen. Wird Barcelona diese außerirdische Invasion überleben? Wird der Kapitän seinen Techniker jemals finden? Gibt es in Barcelona genug Churros, um seinen intergalaktischen Appetit zu stillen? - Inbunden, Tyska, 2024

Tillfälligt slut
A shape-shifting extraterrestrial named Gurb has disappeared in Barcelona, having assumed the form of Madonna, whose image he glimpses on a street poster. His partner, desperate to get him back, goes about trying to find him in a more discreet guise, scrupulously writing his observations in a diary ...No stone is left unturned, no danger too much, in the search for his old pal Gurb in the topsy-turvy world of planet Earth. "No Word From Gurb" is a riotous satire highlighting the contradictions of Western society in a lively, intelligent and sweetly ironic way. - Häftad, Engelska, 2008

Tillfälligt slut
Released from an asylum to help with a police enquiry, the quick-witted and foul-smelling narrator delves deep into the underworld of 1970s Barcelona to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl from a convent school. Aided only by his ageing prostitute sister and the voluptuous nymphomaniac, Mercedes, the narrator's investigations take him deeper into a mystery involving murdered sailors, suicidal daughters, a web of organised crime and a secret, underground crypt. It is a hilarious detective romp through seedy underworld Barcelona.
