Rostros del mal

The great psychopaths of contemporary history are famous for the strength of their exceptional criminality. Whether they were tyrants, Nazis or serial killers, it is difficult to escape the fascination produced by the monstrous cruelty they exhibited towards their victims, a brutality that seems foreign to us to the very humanity of man, and that at the same time raises questions about their psychological nature. Are they born monsters or are they victims of their circumstances? Can we consider them intelligent? Are they capable of feeling remorse or empathy? With the incisive sagacity to which Vicente Garrido has accustomed us, the criminologist invites us to immerse ourselves in the psyche of the figures who have represented, like no other, the multiple facets in which evil has been incarnated, throughout history, in its most abject state. From the atrocious experiments of Mengele to the brutal murders of Ted Bundy, passing through the genocide perpetrated by Hitler or the child cannibal Chikatilo. Here we will remember his infamous acts, but, above all, we will explore the interior of some of the most terrifying minds of recent times, following in the footsteps of the dark drives of human nature.
