About the Book

Después de vender más de 10 millones de ejemplares, Ildefonso Falcones vuelve con una fascinante novela.

Una poderosa historia de amor, pasión por el arte, revueltas sociales y venganza en la Barcelona modernista.

Barcelona, 1901. La ciudad vive días de gran agitación social. La oscura miseria de los más desfavorecidos contrasta con la elegante opulencia de las grandes avenidas, donde ya destacan algunos edificios singulares, símbolo de la llegada del Modernismo.

Dalmau Sala, hijo de un anarquista ajusticiado, es un joven pintor que vive atrapado entre dos mundos. Por un lado, su familia y Emma, la mujer que ama, son firmes defensores de la lucha obrera; hombres y mujeres que no conocen el miedo a la hora de exigir los derechos de los trabajadores. Por otro, su trabajo en el taller de cerámica de don Manuel Bello, su mentor y un conservador burgués de férreas creencias católicas, lo acerca a un ambiente donde imperan la riqueza y la innovación creativa.

De este modo, seducido por las tentadoras ofertas de una burguesía dispuesta a comprar su obra y su conciencia, Dalmau tendrá que encontrar su auténtico camino, como hombre y como artista, y alejarse de las noches de vino y drogas para descubrir lo que de verdad le importa: sus valores, su esencia, el amor de una mujer valiente y luchadora y, sobre todo, esos cuadros que brotan de su imaginación y capturan en un lienzo las almas más miserables que deambulan por las calles de una ciudad agitada por el germen de la rebeldía.

Con El pintor de almas, Ildefonso Falcones nos ofrece la poderosa historia de una época convulsa al tiempo que nos brinda una trama emocionante donde el amor, la pasión por el arte, la lucha por los ideales y la venganza se combinan con maestría para recrear una Barcelona, antaño sobria y gris, que ahora se encamina hacia un futuro brillante donde el color y la esperanza empiezan a extenderse por sus casas y sus calles.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After selling over 10 million copies of his various works, Ildefonso Falcones now returns with a fascinating and captivating new novel.

It is a powerful story about love, about a passion for art, about revenge, and social revolts in modernist Barcelona.

Barcelona, 1901. The city is going through times of great social upheaval. The stark misery of the most disadvantaged population clearly contrasts with the lavish wealth seen in the wealthiest parts of town.

Dalmau Sala, son of an executed anarchist, is a young painter who lives trapped between two worlds. On the one hand, his family and Emma, the woman he loves, are firm defenders of the working class' rights and its struggle for justice; defenders of men and women who set aside all their fears when demanding equal rights for workers. On the other, his job at Don Manuel Bello's ceramic workshop; he is his mentor and a bourgeois conservative with strong Catholic beliefs, this job brings him daily to an environment where wealth and creative innovation prevails.

Seduced by the constant tempting offers of a bourgeoisie class willing to buy his works and his conscience, Dalmau will have to find his authentic self, as a man and as an artist, stay away from those nights of excesses, and discover what is truly important in his life.

With Painter of Souls, Ildefonso Falcones narrates a powerful story of a convulsive period while offering readers an exciting plot where love, a passion for art, the fight for ideals, and revenge are masterfully combined to recreate a bright and colorful Barcelona.
