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.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2.
Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
