De merkwaardige verrijzenis van Ángel Arcadio Picasso is set in Spain of the Twentieth Century. The story features a succesful entrepreneur whose riches are founded upon the exploitation of a department store, begun under the regime of Generalissimo Franco. It breathes the atmosphere of Barcelona, with a possible wink at El Corte Ingles. The said family is not related to the famous painter, Pablo Picasso. The focus of the novella is on the life of the son of the family, and his career in the film business. However, his career and life in general are fueled by the family fortune more than talent or hard work. In fact, Ángel Arcadio Picasso rise in the world has very little to do with hard work, and rather more with corruption, the working of money, and beautiful women.½
