Sobrevivir para contarla
una mirada personal a la pandemia y al mundo que nos deja
Garrigues Walker, Antonio
The coronavirus pandemic has clearly and dramatically affected our lives. It has taken hundreds of thousands of lives around the world and has sunk the global economy without us still fully understanding how it happened or, above all, where it is taking us. In this book, the prestigious jurist and philanthropist Antonio Garrigues Walker analyzes the future after the pandemic with realism and clairvoyance, but also with an optimism far from the majority of catastrophic conclusions that surround us. It is not a question of sweetening the drama or denying the economic consequences, but rather of looking at reality in a more contextualized way both towards the past -as is done here when remembering other pandemics, always defining of history-, and towards the future -with all the doubts raised by the scientific-technical revolution, the geopolitical disorder between the United States and China, global warming or the decisive moment of the European Union-. But, essentially, without forgetting the present and the most basic of our existence: life and the affections of the here and now. Surviving to tell it is, therefore, a lucid essay for clarification by a privileged observer. A panoramic view of a global disease, its consequences and the efforts to combat it from which, at least, the verification of admirable progress can be drawn, despite everything.
