Although the winds of the new war that will devastate the continent are already evident in Europe, cheerful music continues to play, and art, business, and frivolous life still occupy intellectuals, refugees, and activists. Accustomed to danger and extreme situations, Falcó must this time face a world in which the battle of ideas seeks to impose itself over action.
