Welcome to the Barcelona of the early XX century - the heyday of modernism, the clash of ideologies, the conflict of generations, arguments raging, boiling blood. The young artist Dalmau Sala, in love with life, with painting, with women, is torn between true art, which requires complete dedication, and optional but convenient handicrafts for the rich and indifferent, between pleasure and duty, between romance and comfort. Dalmau searches for himself and his true path - and together with his beloved, he will walk the terrible paths amidst the delights and terrors of a world on the threshold of a new century. Ildefonso Falcones, a lawyer by profession and historian by vocation, is one of the greatest Spanish writers of our time and has been honoured with numerous prestigious awards for his first novel, Cathedral by the Sea, including the Euskadi de Plata (2006, Spain), the Qué Leer (2007, Spain) and the Giovanni Boccaccio Prize (2007, Italy). Falcones' books have already sold more than 10 million copies in several dozen countries. ‘Painter of Souls’ is his hymn to his native Barcelona, a magnificent saga of people in the flow of historical events and a chronicle of human passions: love, revenge, loyalty to art and ideals in turbulent times, when absolutely everything changes, from politics to morality and aesthetics, history opens up a giant canvas, passions make a great city, and the city makes human destinies for centuries to come.
