Summary "Catalonia & the Balearic Islands: an historical and descriptive account" by Albert F. Calvert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich cultural, geographic, and historical significance of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. It provides a vivid portrayal of the region's notable cities and sites, delving into their unique characteristics and the intricacies of their past. The opening of the book introduces Catalonia as a distinct entity within Spain, highlighting its language, culture, and enterprise. Calvert discusses the roots and development of the Catalan people, arguing against the idea of racial superiority and instead attributing their success to historical and geographical circumstances. He emphasizes Catalonia's maritime history and its economic prowess while contrasting it with the experiences of other regions in Spain, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of its prominent cities, such as Barcelona and Tarragona, which follow in subsequent chapters.
