ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Oriol Nolis composes a tale full of contrasts, with a magnificent setting and masterful command of the plot, which is at once a thriller and a reflection about art and the desire for possession. The value of art resides in its beauty. Owning a work of art is like trying to own a sunset. Maurice Lyon is the oldest son of an important French family of art collectors. Since his birth, Maurice seems destined to inherit the extraordinary collection of paintings that has passed through generations for centuries. However, one night a serious incident at the elegant Lyon residence in Paris changes his life forever. Rejected by his family and banished to Barcelona, he plans a revenge as sophisticated as it is outrageous, through which we discover the intricate labyrinths that outline his dark personality and the mysteries that make up the strange history of Maurice Lyon. A first novel that surpasses the reader’s expectations, and immerses us in a thicket of emotions and sensations that don’t stop until the last page. Let’s say that it’s about a collection of desires. Yes, I like that expression: a collection of desires. Do you understand what I’m talking about? A collection of beloved pieces, admired and desired throughout time by thousands of people who would even, in some cases, be willing to give their lives for them.”
