El libro de los laberintos
Paolo Santarcangeli propone en este libro un recorrido histórico novedoso y completo por todos los laberintos imaginables, trazando su génesis y evolución en todos los ámbitos y en todas las épocas en los que ha encontrado forma de expresión. Porque el laberinto, según nos cuenta Santarcangeli, es un arquetipo universal de vocación tanto esotérica como exotérica, de tragedia y de juego, que se elabora en representaciones que varían y se parecen tanto como pueden variar y parecerse todas las culturas del orbe. En un sentido antropológico, el laberinto vendría a ser una de las figuraciones mentales y plásticas que mejor reflejan la universalidad cultural de la humanidad en su disyuntiva perenne, situada ante encrucijadas que exigen una decisión, que postulan una opción vital, una búsqueda ininterrumpida del centro para eliminar al Monstruo que anida en su seno. Así, lo que Santarcangeli desarrolla en este extenso y documentado estudio es la historia del hombre frente a los enigmas que le formula constantemente la vida y su afán por dilucidar y esclarecer, por recrear e interpretar a través de los tortuosos caminos del conocimiento, su esencia y la más laberíntica e inevitable de sus consecuencias: la muerte.
