Concierto para libertinos

This Concert for Libertines is a hymn to freedom, like two authors gathered in it: Casanova and Balzac. Adventurers, experimenters rather than literati, though masters of the word and of life; creators of Literature, in capital letters; free and open artists, in short. And also those libertines who inhabited the island of Capri or Taormina, between the blue waters and skies of the Mediterranean. All of them libertines, free in their breadth of thought, without gender conditioning or prejudice of any kind, because by overcoming the prejudices and conditions that put unjustifiable obstacles to moral, social and human freedom, they opened the way to knowledge and social progress . Fine and cultivated spirits, not only defended an opening of customs in the sexual sphere, ahead of modern thought by centuries, but also advocated in favor of a critical spirit based on the right to free conscience. And they have been, until today, the defenders of the inalienable right of the human being to freedom. Literature, biography and pleasure go hand in hand, thus, in this Concert for libertines, whose pages show us that "the thought of the heart" (in Rilke's words) makes the world a better place, more human and humanistic, freer and more libertine, in the fullest sense of the words. And a good example of this are the texts that Mauricio Wiesenthal himself offers us about it, independent and free by nature.
