Your dreams can change the world! Colorful mosaics, playful flowing forms, imaginative facades—Barcelona shines with the buildings of Antoni Gaudí. How did the son of a Catalan blacksmith become a world-famous architect? The first years of Gaudí's life were challenging. Because of an illness, young Gaudí couldn’t attend school and was often alone. Many of his days were spent out in nature, which he would later call his great teacher. Even during his training as an architect in Barcelona, his teachers were puzzled, wondering: is he a “genius or a fool?” Many considered his unusual ideas eccentric, sometimes even crazy. But Gaudí was simply ahead of his time. His buildings are now a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site.   With an insightful eye into the world of an inspired genius, award-winning author Susan B. Katz tells of Gaudí's life and work. Linda Schwalbe's dazzling and powerful illustrations reflect the inventive, daring, and flamboyant style of Gaudí's work.

Farbenprächtige Mosaike, verspielt fließende Formen, fantasievolle Fassaden – Barcelona glänzt mit den Bauwerken Antoni Gaudís. Doch wie wurde aus dem Sohn eines katalanischen Schmieds ein weltberühmter Architekt? Seine ersten Lebensjahre waren sicherlich prägend. Wegen einer Krankheit musste der junge Gaudí viel Zeit allein verbringen. Einen großen Teil davon verbrachte er in der Natur, die er später als seine große Lehrerin bezeichnen sollte. Schon während seiner Ausbildung als Architekt in Barcelona waren seine Lehrer irritiert. Sie hielten den Schüler mit seinen ausgefallenen Ideen für exzentrisch, manchmal sogar für verrückt. Dabei war Gaudí seiner Zeit einfach voraus. Heute zählen seine Bauten zum UNESCO-Welterbe. Das Buch erscheint pünktlich zum 170. Geburtstag Gaudís 2022. Mit einem Blick für den besonderen Charakter des Künstlers erzählt Susan B. Katz vom Leben und Werk Gaudís. Die Illustrationen der Serafina- Preisträgerin Linda Schwalbe sind phänomenal kraftvoll und spiegeln meisterhaft den Stil Gaudís wider.
