Claudia Daneu -philosopher and pianist- aims at guiding the readers to fields that are accessible only by a profound view. Through several and diverse ways, many questions of transcendent essence are treated here under literary forms. The ways traced out may well be divided into four directions. The first one, the obstacles that cause personal affliction, but can be overcome. The second one, the difficulties -both individual and social- of universal order, which offer toilsome resistance though are not insoluble. The third one, all the inexorable and irreversible concerning the existence. And, the fourth one, the attitudes denoting a great spiritual growth which, by undertaking grief, evil, and the irreversible, go far beyond, raise a new living happiness, and are attached only to love, goodness, and truth. It also figures in this book the discovery of substantial elements of reality within characters and plots of entire fiction. It is up to the readers to draw conclusions, to make renewed reflections, and to have their own modes of looking upon these questions.
