Barcelona: A Vol D'Ocell (1987) is a stunning hardback book written by Montserrat Roig, with photography by Xavier Miserachs. This book captures the essence of Barcelona from a unique perspective, with Roig’s narrative and Miserachs’ photographic work offering a comprehensive and immersive view of the city.
The title, which translates to Barcelona: From the Bird's Eye View, suggests that the book provides a panoramic or elevated view of the city, both visually and in terms of its cultural and historical context. Roig, a well-known Catalan writer, is likely to have written with deep insight into Barcelona’s rich culture, identity, and the social landscape of the time. Miserachs' photography would have provided striking images of the city's architecture, people, and landscapes, complementing the narrative beautifully.
Books like this often combine vibrant imagery with thoughtful commentary, making them an excellent way to explore a city's soul from both a personal and artistic lens.
