Querido profe, me invaden las tinieblas : Diálogos sobre cómo vivir y morir

Nuria has her whole life ahead of her. On her thirty-third birthday, she receives a devastating diagnosis: colon cancer. Disoriented and searching for meaning, she decides to write to her former Ethics professor. What begins as a timid and painful letter of catharsis transforms into a harrowing account—both real and literary—of life, suffering, and death. Enrique Bonete, a professor at the University of Salamanca, accompanies his student Nuria on a philosophical and human journey. As her mentor, he guides her from bewilderment to tranquility, from anguish to wonder, on a voyage that, despite everything, is illuminated by the voices of Plato, Seneca, Montaigne, Descartes, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, and Unamuno. Has Nuria been swallowed by Nothingness or has she found solace with God? No one knows. But her words remain, and in them, true philosophizing is practiced: learning to die.
