Description
Summary:This book will be kept in the collective memory. It is the record of how much we underestimate the power of words, that is until we come up close with the term pandemic. Language has shown us its strength in these eight letters, which weave a web of dualities: they divide us, but they unite us; they distress us and, in contrast, fill us with hope; they bring us back to simplicity and require us to project ourselves. Words are also the means to talk about emotions that the virus has overwhelmed and that readers who come to this book want to express. It is a way of understanding the present and the future the public health situation that so many countries of the world go through and a means to understand ourselves and put ourselves in the place of others. Will it be that you will feel identified with any of the authors? Surely yes.
Este libro quedará guardado en la memoria colectiva. Es el registro de cuánto subvaloramos el poder de las palabras, hasta que nos topamos de cerca con el término pandemia. El lenguaje nos ha mostrado su fuerza en estas ocho letras, que tejen un entramado de dualidades: nos dividen, pero nos unen; nos angustian y, en contraste, nos llenan de esperanza; nos traen de vuelta a lo simple y nos exigen proyectarnos. Pues bien, las letras son también el medio para hablar de las emociones que ha desbordado el virus, y que quieren expresarse a los lectores que se acerquen a este libro. Esta no es solo una forma de entender en el presente y en el futuro la situación de salud pública que atravesamos tantos países del mundo, sino también un medio para comprendernos y para ponernos en el lugar de otros, ¿será que usted se sentirá identificado con alguno de los autores? Seguro que sí.
