Breu història de la Rambla is much more than a book about the vicissitudes of this major street and the colourful local stories set around it. Enric Vila explains how it is urban life that shapes cities and nations rather than the political will of the powers that be. He tells readers how the Rambla provided a space for expression in Barcelona, following the disaster of 1714, and how it modernised the city and identity of the Catalans.
