La figura del mundo

Juan Villoro recounts in The Figure of the World some memorable passages about his father, the Mexican-Catalan thinker, Luis Villoro. Without the desire to write a biography in the strict sense, Juan evokes here the unique life of a philosopher, social fighter, Zapatista and author of a fundamental work. In this book he approaches a figure that is both intimate and public, delving into the complexities of any life, masterfully narrating moments that unfold to understand the ubiquitous present. In this way, he recovers the essence of a father who was present in family life in an intangible way, a father who must be investigated by a son who senses his affections and thus renews the past.
