Through his personal memories, childhood phantoms, and the weight of iconic deaths, the author guides us on a literary journey that confronts pedophilia, parricide, and terror. An intimate and stark work that both fascinates and disturbs, revealing that the monster does not always inhabit distant places, but sometimes resides across the street or within our own selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a profound and personal exploration of evil. Eduardo Boix draws from his own life experiences, his solitude, and his childhood fears to build a narrative that intertwines the intimate with the universal. The burden of family deaths leads him to reflect on the deaths of the good—Virginia Woolf, Primo Levi, Reinaldo Arenas—and from there, he begins a Dantesque descent into the hells of human perversity. The author analyzes figures such as Antonio Anglés, José Bretón, Charles Manson, Ricardo Barreda, or Demjanjuk, not as isolated cases, but as mirrors of a darkness we believe is foreign but which directly challenges us. The work thus becomes an inquiry into the monster that, at times, lives across the street or perhaps inside ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe nature of human evil and its manifestation in historical and contemporary figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAutofiction as a tool to explore personal memory and family traumas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe descent into the hells of pedophilia, parricide, extermination, and terror.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReflection on the deaths of the good and the persistence of evil in society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe search for the inner monster and the confrontation with one's own and others' darkness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in autofiction, narrative essays, and the philosophical exploration of evil.
