Book Description
At the time of his death in 1926, Antoni Gaudí was arguably the most famous architect in the world. He had created some of the greatest and most controversial masterpieces of modern architecture, which were as exotic as they were outrageous. But little is known about the shadowy figure behind the swirling, vivid buildings that inspired the Surrealists. This masterful biography brings both man and architect powerfully to life against the changing backdrop of Barcelona and Catalonia. Gijs van Hensbergen leads us through the design and construction of Gaudí’s most significant buildings -- revealing their innovation and complexity, and demonstrating the growing relevance of Gaudí’s architecture today.

Book Description
The fascination that the work of Gaudí arouses is due in large part to the enigmatic symbolism of its forms, full of mystical and philosophical significance that is sometimes difficult for observers to perceive, but which becomes clearer when analysed in the light of certain very influential currents of ideas in the art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Based on the study of Casa Bellesguard and the Temple of the Sagrada Família, this book opens up new avenues for interpreting Gaudí’s symbolism, discovering the ties existing between the work of the Catalan architect and that of the German painter Peter Lenz, which at the same time is rooted in the early Romantic period. Aimed at both specialists and the general public, Antoni Gaudí: Casa Bellesguard as the Key to His Symbolism not only broadens the knowledge and the documentation of Gaudí’s creative universe, but also contributes to enriching our perception of his work.

It all begins with a man speaking about how everyone is blind to the powerful message of Gaudi's works. It begins when Toñi, a mere employee, saves an old man from being run over on the same spot where Antoni Gaudi was hit by a tram. It begins when Jaime Calvo, a cold and calculating detective, is ordered to investigate on how a realtor can be murdered in Casa Vicens, the first house created by Gaudi, without any clues whatsoever. When a serial killer named Trencadis leaves corpses at the most important Gaudi buildings and the police cannot stop him, a ordinary woman finds herself trapped in the middle of the case... guided by an old man that appears to be the ghost of Gaudi.
