Description
Brightly colored and adorned with joyful scenes, the burial chambers of the Etruscans provided, in the words of D. H. Lawrence, «a rare and intense placidity». In these pages, Nicanor Gómez Villegas adopts this concept of tombs to delight us with brief narrative digressions that give an account of his visits to cemeteries and crypts under the pretext of reflecting on death, love, dreams, art, landscape, war and literature.
In these pages, the author takes us to the places where cities originated and dynasties fell, tells us the stories that hide tombstones and tombs, and makes us stop before them to question ourselves about the lives of the men who lie there —Friedrich Nietzsche, Lord Byron, Percy B. Shelley, William Butler Yeats, among others—. Thus, these tombs, the final resting place of other lives, inevitably lead us to meditate on our own existence.
