"Gijs van Hensbergen has pulled off a remarkable feat, taming the monstre sacre of 20th century architecture, without diminishing him. He takes a level headed and highly readable journey through the life of Antoni Gaudi, an architect loved by Dali, hated by Picasso, and now destined for sainthood." - Deyan Sudjic, director of The Design Museum, London "The manic beauty of Antoni Gaud's 'bible in stone' is evoked by the richly nuanced prose of Gijs van Hensbergen. In many ways an autobiography, this exquisite book also offers vivid insights into the life of the eccentric Gaud, Catalan culture and the roles of the Vatican and of iconoclastic anarchists. A wonderment of an essay about a wonderment of a building." - Paul Preston, author of FRANCO and JUAN CARLOS, "This book solves many of the puzzles and mysteries that have surrounded the creation of Gaudi's great, mad, intriguing dream. It is essential reading for any student of Catalonia's fascinating and complex heritage, as it is for any visitor to Barcelona." - Colm Toibin, author of HOMAGE TO BARCELONA and NORA WEBSTER "A wonderfully illuminating and enriching book." - Andrew Graham-Dixon, author of CARAVAGGIO "Few writers know Gaudi as intimately as Gijs van Hensbergen. Fewer still are capable of transmitting and explaining the mixture of magic, spirituality and outright eccentricity that has driven the construction of one of Europe's most emblematic temples." - Giles Tremlett, author of GHOSTS OF SPAIN and ISABELLA OF CASTILE "Exquisite . . . A wonderment of an essay about a wonderment of a building." - Paul Preston, author of FRANCO and JUAN CARLOS "Gijs van Hensbergen has pulled off a remarkable feat, taming the monstre sacre of 20th century architecture, without diminishing him. He takes a level headed and highly readable journey through the life of Antoni Gaudi, an architect loved by Dali, hated by Picasso, and now destined for sainthood." - Deyan Sudjic, director of The Design Museum, London "Extensively researched historical fact is presented in an accessible and readable style . . . Gaudi is presented as charismatic and driven, with a distinctive vision combining Gothic and Art Nouveau forms. Though there are a number of other books on the general topic, this is a singular English-language title as others function more as guides than histories." - Library Journal "With the sharp eye of both an art historian and Gaud scholar, Gijs van Hensbergen takes readers on a tour of the Sagrada Famlia." - Shelf Awareness Pro "Art historian van Hensbergen crafts an admiring study of Catalan architect Antoni Gaud's masterpiece, the Sagrada Famlia, tracing its evolution from local basilica to one of the world's most recognizable structures . . . Van Hensbergen serves as an enthusiastic guide in this more than thorough account of one of the world's most eccentric and stunning buildings." - Publishers Weekly "Intoxicating . . . instantly engages . . . Van Hensbergen's rich, poetic prose is perfectly suited to describe this unprecedented work of art. An engrossing, vivid inquiry into a man and his magisterial creation." - Kirkus Reviews, "Extensively researched historical fact is presented in an accessible and readable style . . .

Gijs van Hensbergen has written a spellbinding account of Gaud's unfinished masterpiece, one that every traveler to Barcelona would benefit from reading." - Washington Independent Review of Books "Very readable, as author Gijs Van Hensbergen is a wonderful writer. Sagrada Famlia is an extensive volume that includes a multitude of subjects connected with Spain but particularly the life and work of the architect Antoni Gaud and his many creations in Spain . . . The subject is fascinating: a monumental cathedral that started in 1882 whose construction continues to this date." - Manhattan Book Review / Seattle Book Review "This book solves many of the puzzles and mysteries that have surrounded the creation of Gaudi's great, mad, intriguing dream. It is essential reading for any student of Catalonia's fascinating and complex heritage, as it is for any visitor to Barcelona." - Colm Toibin, author of HOMAGE TO BARCELONA and NORA WEBSTER "Exquisite . . .

A book that sparkles with intelligence." - San Francisco Chronicle "The definitive study of Picasso's antiwar masterpiece, which folds the disciplines of art criticism, political history and biography into a passionate, detailed and well-argued narrative." - PW

Synopsis
An illuminating biography of one of the most famous--and most famously unfinished--buildings in the world, the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona. The scaffolding-cloaked spires of Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, dominate the Barcelona skyline and draw in millions of visitors every year. More than a century after the first stone was laid in 1882, the Sagrada Familia remains unfinished, a testament to Gaudí's quixotic ambition, his religious devotion, and the sensuous eccentricity of his design. It has defied the critics, the penny-pinching accountants, the conservative town-planners, and the devotees of sterile modernism. It has enchanted and frustrated the citizens of Barcelona. And it has passed through the landmark changes of twentieth-century Spain, surviving two World Wars, the ravages of the Spanish Civil War, and the "Hunger Years" of Franco's rule. Gijs van Hensbergen's The Sagrada Familia explores the evolution of this remarkable building, working through the decades right up to the present day before looking beyond to the final stretch of its construction. Rich in detail and vast in scope, this is a revelatory chronicle of an iconic structure, its place in history, and the wild genius that created it., An illuminating biography of one of the most famous--and most famously unfinished--buildings in the world, the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona.
