CUANDO LA RIQUEZA SE CODEABA CON EL HAMBRE. VIDA NOCTURNA EN LA BARCELONA DE LA POSTGUERRA (1939-1952)

This book offers a vision of a Barcelona filled with contrasts, with poverty to make your hair stand on end, and with ostentatious wealth, with needs for some and excesses for others, under the subjection to an intense police state. It is a portrait from the point of view of the leisure and night-life of a city that was embedded in a dual morality during the postwar years. From the traditional and working-class areas of the Barri Xino, the Paral•lel, the Rambla and Carrer d’Escudellers, to the luxurious landscape that emerged in the Eixample and Diagonal and spread throughout that area.
