Starting from the question "What do those who believe, really believe?", Fernando del Paso develops his interest in "the other" and takes us on a journey through the history of the Middle East, the birthplace of both Islam and Judaism. He analyzes their practices and cultural representations: gods, customs, traditions, ideologies, cosmologies, and everything that shaped, and continues to shape, their interpretation of the world. The result is a panoramic view of the emergence and development of these two religions, written with precision but also enriched with deep narrative elements that make it accessible to a wide audience.
