Explore "Caesar or Nothing" by Pio Baroja on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
To be in Castro Duro and not visit Don Caesar Moncada's house is a veritable crime of _lese-art_. Senor Moncada, who is a most intelligent person, has gathered in his aristocratic residence a collection of precious things, old pictures, antiques, sculptures of the XV and XVI Centuries, badges of the Inquisition. Senor Moneada has made a conscientious study of the primitive Castilian painters, and is certainly the person most at home in that line.
His most beautiful wife, who is also a distinguished artist, has aided him in forming this collection, and they have both gone about by automobile through all the towns in this province and the neighbouring ones, collecting everything artistic they found.
