Sabiduría antigua para tiempos modernos

Nothing new under the sun. It seems that this ancient aphorism should allow us to easily dispatch the description of the content of this book, since in its brief texts, which combine depth with conciseness, we see how, indeed, many of the current problems, if not all, have already been raised in ancient Greece. However, it is precisely the sharp and singular gaze with which Mauro Bonazzi superimposes these ancient questions and perplexities on the conflicts and concerns of our time (embodied in characters like Obama or Woody Allen or phenomena like Star Wars) that makes this book such a highly stimulating and intelligent reading. Skillfully intertwining ancient thought and the current world, Bonazzi touches on the key issues of our nature (from happiness to love and death, from justice to force, to friendship and longing), discovering us new and suggestive perspectives.
