Este libro nace del interés de las instituciones académicas latinoamericanas y europeas agrupadas en el Colectivo Iberoamericano de Bioética y Cine (CIBC) en contribuir a la búsqueda de sentido en medio del absurdo que representa la perseverancia de la vida durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Sin aspirar a conclusiones definitivas sobre un proceso histórico trascendental en los planos subjetivos y comunitarios, reúne trece escritos breves que dan cuenta de reflexiones y experiencias vitales en tiempos de pandemia, aprovechando el cine y la literatura como espejos de los significados de pestes antiguas y pestes por venir y los aprendizajes para la investigación, la salud pública y la salvaguarda de los derechos fundamentales.

It was 1953, and nothing could shake William Denning's resolve to leave the army and return to the States. Nothing, except one of the largest diamond hauls ever - which, in the wrong hands, on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, was a potentially lethal force. In a small village in the Swiss mountains, Denning discovered that there was not only a jewellery robbery at stake. In the ruthless world of espionage and international conspiracy his adversaries were the most unlikely people - and the most dangerous.
