This book explores Gaud\u0026amp;#x27;s life, work and influences, from Catalan nationalism to the Industrial Revolution. Michael Eaude expertly guides readers through Gaud\u0026amp;#x27;s dozen great works, including the Sagrada Familia, which attracts millions of tourists to Barcelona each year. Gaud\u0026amp;#x27;s life is also chronicled, from his provincial upbringing in Reus to his time in Barcelona, where he became a dandy whose only attempt at marriage was rejected. He later suffered a nervous breakdown, became obsessively religious, and fused Gothic, Baroque, and Orientalist architecture into his unique style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857100820638,"sku":"ADS-9781789148374","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781789148374.jpg?v=1779154298","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781789148374","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
