The Soul Painter

The Soul Painter

Our review

If you like long historical fiction novels similar to those written by Ken Follett, you will surely love this author. This book is for immersing yourself in an era and letting yourself be carried away by the plot; it's like a time machine.

"The Painter of Souls" takes us through the ins and outs of a Barcelona of contrasts in the 20th century: rich and poor, art and degradation, debauchery and decorum. It can be said that Ildefonso Falcones is the Spanish Ken Follett.

We recommend it for times of the year when you have more time, like summer, as being a long story you can get lost if you don't follow it consistently. Do you want to travel to modernist Barcelona? There's no better way than reading this book.

Book details

Synopsis

Dalmau comes from a family of anarchists and laborers, but works for an important ceramics workshop where he will grow as an artist. Don Manuel, the owner, will immerse him in the upper echelons of society, where he feels like a black sheep. This distances him from his beloved Emma, a woman who fights for the workers' cause. The novel is a constant struggle for survival, always surrounded by a passion for art.
