La vida de Francisco Iglesias Capdevila daría giros inesperados desde que los proveedores malteses amenazaron a su hermano mayor, el heredero de la fábrica familiar de estampados de la calle Trenta Claus en Barcelona. Las deudas que dejó su padre orillaron a los hermanos a buscarse la vida fuera de la ciudad condal. Las circunstancias obligarán a Francisco a aventurarse en la búsqueda de un futuro mejor, de un trabajo que le permita volver con dinero a su patria y vivir holgadamente su vejez. En 1784 probaría suerte en Cádiz y se embarcará como polizón a la Nueva España en 1789 huyendo de los rebomboris del pà en Barcelona. Mientras que, en la vieja España, la Metrópoli enfrentaba las amenazas revolucionarias de la vecina Francia, las funestas guerras anglo-españolas y la invasión napoleónica, los éxitos de Francisco Iglesias en el Nuevo Mundo creando estampados perfectos del agrado del público lo convertían en un hombre rico y envidiado por muchos tanto dentro de México como en su natal Barcelona. En esta novela conoceremos la vida y la fortuna de uno de los industriales textiles más grandes que conoció el reino de Nueva España. A través de un viaje paralelo entre Barcelona y la ciudad de México, donde se vivirán aventuras y desventuras rodeadas de viajes, chocolate, textiles, conspiraciones, conflictos y encuentros con personajes como virreyes, diputados a las Cortes de Cádiz, nobles e inclusive con la expedición científica de Alexander Von Humboldt en Nueva España. 10
