As a result of his poor health, Nietzsche used his remaining energy to write a different work, leaving “The Will to Power” in the earliest stages of writing. The topics he...

Una colección de recuerdos, contados con la sencillez de un niño y con la delicadeza de un poeta. Un tiempo (años 60/70) y un lugar (Talavera) que el autor recobra, fija y ordena. Y en donde, al fin, se reconoce y reafirma. Un libro que nos sorprende y nos traslada al mundo de las impresiones de la infancia y juventud, esas que definen el fondo de nuestra alma, y recupera para nosotros las emociones olvidadas al pasar de los años.

El amor se nombra de muchas maneras, se da a conocer con muchos rostros que lo hacen visible, tangible, evidente. El amor se declina como respeto o como responsabilidad, por ejemplo. Amor que tiene su raíz en el Dios de Jesucristo, el Hijo del Hombre, por quien el amor se nos ha hecho próximo para ser vivido y para ser compartido.
