Hi, I hope you haven't answered this question already, but do you have any books to recommend about catalan history? Like biographies/autobiographies or just something general. Thank you 😊

Hello! I assume you mean books that have been published in English.

There are many history books in Catalan of course, way less in English, but still some. As you will understand, I have read history books about Catalonia in Catalan, and not the ones made in English, so I can't recommend much from first hand. However, there are some that I can recommend.

I have heard very good recommendations of the book A People's History of Catalonia (2022) by Michael Eaude.

Another classic is George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia (1938), his autobiography from his years fighting in the Spanish Civil War. It's clearly written by a foreigner but definitely very interesting.

For more recent stuff, there's The Case of the Catalans: Why So Many Catalans No Longer Want To Be Part of Spain (2020) coordinated by Clara Ponsatí.

@guillemelgat also recommends Monturiol's Dream: the extraordinary story of the submarine inventor who wanted to save the world (2003) by Matthew Stewart about the Catalan inventor and revolutionary Narcís Monturiol, and also talks to the context where he lived in, 19th century Barcelona when the Eixample was being built.

Lastly, I would also like to add a novel. It's a historical fiction but it's very very well researched and has been translated to English. It's Victus: The Fall of Barcelona (2012) by Albert Sánchez Piñol, set during the War of the Spanish Succession, which together with the Civil War is the most important moment in Catalan collective memory.
