This story begins with a Kalashnikov and ends, fifty years later, with flowers. All on a balcony in Beirut. This is the story of the longest-serving Western journalist in the Middle East. Tomàs Alcoverro edited articles by Pla, lived in Paris in 1968, invited García Márquez to a paella in Badalona when the novelist was unknown and flew with Josep Tarradellas on the plane that took him back from exile. . But, above all, it has been a direct witness to the convulsions of the world that stretches between Cairo and Tehran: the burial of the Nasser, the return of Khomeini, or the Arafat of Black September. From the mythical Israeli kibbutzim of 1967 to the last big explosion in the port of Beirut, Alcoverro tells stories he has always written with a pen before moving to the keyboard. "I write all wars by hand on paper. It's more sensual."
