Mandela, Dalí, Lennon or Curie are surnames that are associated with a single person, an unrepeatable figure who, for reasons and from different spheres, left his mark on society.

EL PAÍS has brought together some of the most relevant figures in science, the arts and politics in the Great Biographies book collection, which will hit the newsstands with the newspaper next Sunday, February 28. It is also available on the Collections website.
