Presentation of the book "Spring and the Titan" by Antonio Monterrubio

  • January 30th, 7:00 p.m.
  • Auditorium of the Public Library of Zamora
  • Free admission until full capacity.

Prometheus is a glorious symbol of the spirit's struggle against injustice. It is also a symbol of the desire to know, to go ever further and higher. This book aims to be faithful to the great legacies of the philanthropic titan. Today, Science, accompanied by other knowledge, needs to rebel again against an omnipotent Power that denies us spring. It is homo œconomicus , and not homo sapiens , that destroys the planet. The crushing of truth by deceit and of reason by force threatens rights that we believed to be consolidated. Hatred is always on the watch. Attacks on the legacy of Modernity roll out the red carpet for demagogues and swindlers. Only the voice of Prometheus and his resolute action can save spring, which is also a metaphor for goodness, beauty, joy, freedom, equality, fraternity: life, in short.
