En esta serie de conferencias pronunciadas en 2007 en Toronto, Alberto Manguel explora la relación entre el lenguaje, las historias y la construcción de la sociedad. A través de fascinantes paralelos entre las realidades individuales y políticas del mundo contemporáneo y las narrativas del mito y la leyenda, Manguel nos invita a prestar atención a las voces de visionarios, poetas, novelistas, ensayistas y cineastas. Sus obras, al abrazar la complejidad humana, nos muestran el camino hacia una comunidad más justa y duradera. Este libro es una reflexión profunda sobre cómo las historias que contamos pueden transformar nuestra percepción de nosotros mismos y del mundo que nos rodea.
