Preguntas aparentemente sencillas, como ¿qué te pasa?, ¿cómo te llamas? o ¿de dónde vienes?, nos van acercando poco a poco al centro más profundo de nuestra alma, allí donde se descubre la herida originada por las cuatro infinitudes esenciales: vida, muerte, tú y mundo. Jamás seremos demasiado humanos: si algún horizonte tiene sentido es el de llegar a ser más humanos.

El catorce de agosto de 2023 será una fecha que quedará grabada, para siempre, en la vida de Francesc Torralba. Es el último día de la vida de su hijo Oriol, quien murió haciendo una excursión por la montaña. El proceso del duelo es un camino tortuoso y con muchos vaivenes que nos pone ante lo único insalvable: la muerte. No hay palabras es la obra de la vida del autor, por tema personal, pero también porque es un replanteamiento desde una perspectiva totalmente novedosa de un tema que él ya había tratado, cómo era la pérdida de un ser querido.

The contemporary reception of existentialism has been subjected to a long, quiet process of domestication. What began as a radical confrontation with the conditions of human existence has been softened into a set of psychological motifs - alienation, despair, nausea, absurdity - easily absorbed into therapeutic discourse or undergraduate survey courses. This reduction does more than dilute the existentialists’ project; it obscures the ontological terrain on which they fought. The prevailing assumption is that existentialism is concerned primarily with invisibility, with the individual who...

Many people argue that Confucius is the most influential person of all time, and if having a significant effect on the greatest number of people is the criterion, he may very well be. China is one of the largest and oldest civilizations on earth, and Confucius has been influential there from almost the beginning: the first Chinese dynasty was founded around 1600 BCE, and Confucius lived from 551-479 BCE.

He didn’t rule an empire. He didn’t fight a war. He just had an idea — that the world could be better if everyone just played their part. This is the story of Confucius — not as a saint, not as a symbol, but as a man trying to fix a broken world with virtue, obedience, and a whole lot of ritual bowing. Through chaos, rejection, and endless lectures, he built a moral system that outlived dynasties and became the software of an entire civilization. But what did it cost? This isn’t worship. This isn’t a takedown. This is a biography told with open eyes.

From the Introduction: "Every biography is a story of adventure. The energetic personalities of the world represent an adventure in living. The philosophical personalities, on the other hand, represent an adventure in thinking. And when we examine the lives of the philosophers we find that the procession of a man's thoughts can be as exciting a spectacle as the pageantry of a man's deeds."
