The Master Plan

The highly anticipated return of the master of mystery to bookstores.

In 1990, Javier Sierra had an unexpected encounter at the Prado Museum with an enigmatic figure. This person revealed the existence of a secret society that, for centuries, had been safeguarding select works of art that serve as gateways between worlds. That revelation led to the creation of El maestro del Prado (Planeta, 2013).

Since then, the author has been attempting to meet that mysterious figure once more and, along the way, has uncovered the existence of a "master plan" that gives art a profound meaning. For centuries, enigmatic masters have shaped humanity in unimaginable ways. Some myths refer to them as divine instructors, others as daimons, angels, or spirits. Their knowledge has been instrumental in developing agriculture, astronomy, mathematics, and artistic expression. But who are they, really?

A captivating novel that will take you on a journey through art to uncover a hidden chapter of civilization.
