Dos hombres, uno en la ficción y otro en la realidad, tuvieron la oportunidad de matar a Hitler antes de que éste desencadenara la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A partir de este hecho, Javier Marías explora el envés del «No matarás». Si esos hombres quizá debieron disparar contra el Führer, ¿cabe la posibilidad de hacerlo contra alguien más? Como dice el narrador de Tomás Nevinson, «ya se ve que matar no es tan extremo ni tan difícil e injusto si se sabe a quién».

Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776, a time when America was a hotbed of revolution. The pamphlet, which called for America's political freedom, sold more than 150,000 copies in three months. Paine not only spurred his fellow Americans to action but soon came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. His persuasive pieces, written so elegantly, spoke to the hearts and minds of all those fighting for freedom from England.
