This essay meticulously reconstructs the Orsini bomb attack that occurred at the Liceu, just as the orchestra was preparing to perform a key piece.

The narrative begins at the precise moment the orchestra was preparing to perform \"Jurons, jurons par nos dangers,\" when an Orsini bomb fell from the fifth floor and exploded between seats 27 and 28 of the 13th row. From there, the work unravels the intricacies of the attack, the ideological motives of the anarchists involved, the authorities' reaction, and the social and political impact it had on late 19th-century Barcelona. The author contextualizes the act within the class struggle and the rise of anarchism, offering a detailed view of how this event forever changed the history of the city and that of international terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of international terrorism and its origins in anarchism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of anarchism as a political ideology and its violent expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial and political history of Barcelona at the end of the 19th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe Liceu attack as a turning point in security and repression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between culture, performance, and social protest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the contemporary history of Spain and Catalonia, especially in the social and political movements of the 19th century.
