Edgar Moran is 100 years old, but he still suffers from the tortures of our time. This humanist thinker played an important role in the wanderings and hopes, crises and tribulations of his time. In this book, he conveys to us the lessons he has learned about human complexity during his century-long life. In Moran's view, just like everyone's life story, the same paradox is obviously inseparable in human history: as much kindness, generosity, and dedication as there are evil, meanness, and selfishness; as much wisdom and cunning , creative genius, there are as many stupidities, blindness, illusions and mistakes as there are. What a wonderful and terrible power the imagination has in the human spirit to create masterpieces of poetry, literature and art, and to enslave itself by worshiping and invoking the gods and legends it has created.
