Juan Antonio Vallejo-Nágera traces portraits of historical figures marked by eccentricities or psychological disturbances: Abderramán III, Juana la Loca, Caravaggio, Farinelli, Goya, Van Gogh, Hitler and Rudolf Hess. He draws on Machiavelli's «tertulia de egregios» to explore the boundary between genius, power and psychopathology.
