About This Book

A memoir recounts the author's memories of a lively Barcelona tavern where a warm-hearted proprietor runs a restaurant that becomes a gathering place for a diverse intellectual circle. The narrative sketches the room and garden, the informal meals, and a rotating cast of writers, artists, journalists, actors, inventors and eccentric characters who spark animated debates on aesthetics, science, music and everyday life. Vivid, anecdotal portraits and humorous episodes capture bohemian camaraderie, the proprietor's generosity, and the salon's role as a social laboratory of ideas and personalities.
