The celebrated author of The Trial supplants the protagonist of his novel when he is put on trial in a crazy court for a crime he has not committed. The existential anguish of Franz Kafka will be judged over six days in the course of which the most quirky characters parade. As an epilogue, the book includes an humorous treatise about the figure of the writer and the city to which he is inextricably linked. Surrealistic, absurd, outrageous humor inspired by the exceptional personality of the Prague author and the most famous of his novels.

An Ancient Astronauts theorist reveals everything he knows, which is absolutely nothing. But he pretends to know, among other things, the extraterrestrial origin of modern art, the aliens' fondness for baseball and fast food, the secret mechanism of the pyramids, the Roswell UFO incident, the mystery inside the enigma of the Bermuda Triangle and the Nazca lines, the Moai heads of Easter Island and the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon... And the greatest revelation of all, namely, that aliens inhabit among us although "it's still a difficult task to identify them because they cover their faces with a fluorescent pink balaclava".

Theologians maintain that just the presence of a feeling of God in Man's heart, is, in itself, a proof of His existence. Since -as they assure us- that feeling is innate, it's actually a reminiscence. Well, if it's as they say, Blanca, then, along with a feeling of God (and, as I hope to demonstrate during the course of these letters, closely bound to it), there exists in Man's heart another innate feeling of no less power. The feeling of the twin soul, of the one creature who, out of every other, is destined to us, for it's the other half that will us complete us." Thus begins one of the letters of this epistolary essay in which the author undertakes an exhaustive tracing of the theory of soul mates in the history of Religion and Philosophy, of Literature and Occult Sciences, showing the preeminent place that in the worldview of the ancient sages occupied this enigmatic feeling that we know today with the name of romantic love.
