En 2020 publiqué un videoensayo en mi canal de YouTube sobre la novela de Eduardo Mendoza "La ciudad de los prodigios". En el vídeo relacionaba alta cultura con baja cultura y relacionaba la novela con mis experiencias vitales: ¿qué tiene que ver la literatura con el turismo masivo, los repartidores de flyers, alquileres abusivos en Barcelona y el paso del tiempo? Decidí adaptar ese guion a formato cómic para un concurso en el que se fomentaba el uso del catalán en la novela gráfica, así que mandé esta propuesta bajo el título "de Barcelona encara és la ciutat dels prodigis". Mil gracias a mi amiga Alba por la corrección ortográfica. ❤️

Portrait sketch of William Makepeace Thackeray by Samuel Laurence, 1848 (British Museum).

The 1840s saw the advent of the modern tourist industry and Thackeray was one of many Britons who in that decade flocked to the Holy Land and the Pyramids. (Though it was not until the 1860s that Cook’s Tours began plying the waters of the Nile, Thomas Cook first ventured into the tourist business in 1841.) On board his P&O steamer Thackeray found that all the British excursionists were reading Alexander Kingslake’s Eothen, just published—a book addressed to another eastern traveler, Eliot Warburton, whose The Crescent and the Cross was also published in 1844. The redoubtable Harriet Martineau took ship with friends in 1846 to the East, publishing Eastern Life, Present and Past in 1848—a volume R.K. Webb describes as containing “travels and a torrent of philosophizing,” both utilitarian and Unitarian.
