In Understanding Pain, Fernando Cervero explores the mechanisms and the meaning of pain. You touch something hot and your brain triggers a reflex action that causes you to withdraw your hand, protecting you from injury. That kind of pain, Cervero explains, is actually good for us; it acts as an alarm that warns us of danger and keeps us away from harm. But nt all pain is good for you. There is another kind of pain that is more like a curse: chronic pain that is not related to injury. This is the kind of pain that fills pain clinics and makes life miserable.

"Non ho fatto nient'altro che sognare; è stato questo, e solo questo, il senso della mia vita. Non ho avuto nessun'altra vera preoccupazione al di fuori della mia vita interiore." Pubblicato postumo nel 1982, "Il libro dell'inquietudine di Bernardo Soares" può essere considerato come una sorta di "Zibaldone" che l'autore consegna nelle mani di Bernardo Soares, uno dei suoi numerosi eteronimi. Leggere o ascoltare questi 481 frammenti recuperati da un vecchio baule dove erano conservati in modo disordinato equivale a sprofondare in un vortice.
