ILLUSTRATIONS BY DAVID MAYNAR When he is a child, his mother tells him: "If you become a soldier, you'll rise to be a general. And if you become a priest, you'll be Pope." Years later, Picasso would say: "I decided to be a painter and I became Picasso." Just one of his paintings, _Les demoiselles d'Avignon_, is enough to revolutionise modern painting. He would become the great master of Cubism, but he would also paint canvases to promote peace. In these pages you will discover these and other stories about a painter who always remained young.

Building parks guarded by dragons, terraces overseen by knights' helms and a church that looks like an enchanted forest. Would you like to find out the secrets of the most universal Catalan architect? This is your book!

IL·LUSTRACIONS DE DAVID MAYNAR Fa molt i molt de temps... Catalunya vivia temps difícils. Necessitava algú amb valentia i determinació, i un home va acudir al seu rescat. Aquest home era un rei, Dom Jaume, a qui avui el coneixem com Jaume I el Conqueridor. Gracies a les seves politiques, no nomes va allunyar els enemics del pais, sino que tambe en va eixamplar les fronteres. Va portar el catala a Mallorca i Valencia, i va fer que al Mediterrani hi oneges la senyera. Durant segles, els catalans n'han explicat les gestes generacio rere generacio, i ara arribat el moment que les expliquem als mes petits.
