Why does a form of terrorism that consists of isolated, random killings break out, where the victims can be as numerous as possible? In the first part of this book, Calasso gives a brief history of the origin of Islamic terrorism, and draws an incisive, stark definition of our world. / La sociedad secular ya sólo confía en sí misma: se siente humanista, y practica la primera religión sin divinidad. ¿Por qué, entonces, irrumpe una forma de terrorismo que consiste en matanzas aisladas, aleatorias, donde las víctimas pueden ser cualquiera con tal de que sean lo más numerosas posible? Aquellos que cometen esos atentados «mantienen vivo el fuego sacrificial»: su enemigo es el cuerpo entero de la sociedad secular. En la primera parte de este libro, Calasso hace una breve historia del origen del terrorismo islámico, y traza una incisiva, descarnada definición de nuestro mundo. La segunda es una colección de citas –de escritores como Woolf, Jünger y Céline, pensadores como Weil y Benjamin, pero también de jerarcas nazis como Goebbels– que abarcan el periodo que va de 1933 a 1945: los años en que el mundo llevó a cabo una tentativa de autoaniquilación parcialmente exitosa.
