Les muses

Civilization is advancing at a stroke of genius, and this novel is a testament to that. Where did the flashes of inspiration that catapult works like Ramon Llull, Antoni Gaudí and Patti Smith come from? We will approach the answer following the adventures of a mysterious potion capable of bringing out the best and the worst in everyone. There we will find illustrious disciples of Leonardo, cowardly friends of Cervantes, the latest delusions of Edgar Allan Poe or the secrets of the brilliant daughter of William Shakespeare. And the story of a writer, Virgili Pardal, who strives to finish an unfinished work, clinging to the same source of enjoyment, knowledge and energy that the protagonists of his fiction share. Jordi Cussà culminated this novel, key in his career, a few months before his death, and we celebrate the icing on his magnificent literary legacy.
