The characters in question are Aristides Maillol, Salvador Dalí, Isidre Nonell, Antonio Gaudi and Casals.

It's funny. And it plays slightly Josep Pla, the just, the typical aspects of any biography is dedicated to capture in detail the more mundane matters, the closest to the person's life, those who awaken the interest in learning more about these inaccessible superior beings. Pla
The language is hypnotic. Catch the reader with peasant expressions, plain, but in an intellectual depth and elegance affordable only chosen people, gifted writing.
