«El pintor de las neuronas» is the youth biography of Santiago Ramón y Cajal written by Vicente Muñoz Puelles (Anaya, paperback, 192 pages, in Spanish).
A childhood friend attends the final farewell to Santiago Ramón y Cajal and leaves under the flowers a book of fables he had stolen from the scientist when they were children. That gesture triggers the memory of a whole life: the arrival in Ayerbe (Huesca), the pictorial vocation, medical studies, research on the nervous system, the neuron theory and the path to the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
«El pintor de las neuronas» is part of Anaya's Leer y Pensar collection, with illustrations by Pablo Torrecilla and an activity booklet on the reading.
Aimed at readers aged 12 and up, it brings young people closer to the history of science through the figure of a Nobel laureate.
Vicente Muñoz Puelles is a Spanish author and translator. He has published over 240 books, including over 180 for children and young adults, as well as almost 500 articles on literary criticism and fiction.
