Picasso has often been called the greatest artist of this century.

In this brilliantly listenable autobiography, one of India’s greatest writers shows us the roots of everything he has written. He begins with a dream and a gentle haunting before taking us to an idyllic childhood in Jamnagar by the Arabian Sea and New Delhi in the early 1940s - where he found material for his first short story. A search for companionship and security, undercut by a fierce independence and a tendency for risk-taking, would inform every choice he made for the rest of his life.

Romain Rolland (1866-1944), premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1915, ha dedicato l'opera e la vita alla diffusione di un credo umanitario di pace e di fraternità. Compose numerose biografie esemplari, tra cui questa di Michelangelo, nel 1905. La vita dell'eroe della Sistina (come lo chiama l'autore) viene percorsa più volte analizzando vari aspetti della sua vita: la lotta, la sua ossessione artistica, gli amori idealizzati, e infine, l’amore per Dio e il desiderio della liberazione dalla vita.
