El secreto de Sócrates

El secreto de Sócrates / Socrates’ secret

Novel , 2015

Montesinos

At first glance, no one would have said that Socrates was a philosopher, but he was. Thus begins the story of a man from our time who longs to be admired by his peers, but panics if people look at him; who seeks, but does not want to find himself; who aspires to do something great, but is unable to overcome a pathological apathy. He comes across Diogenes, an extravagant and impassioned character who suggests that they stage a very special revolution together, one that will amaze the entire city, perhaps a metaphor for the world. Diogenes has a plan, always postponed, that will leave everyone speechless at its audacity.
