The imminence of death brought Alejandro Gaviria back to life. Almost a year ago he was diagnosed with lymphoma. At first the doctors thought that it could be treated easily, but that turned out not to be the case. Gaviria only overcame his illness through aggressive treatment. During the process, he received the support and solidarity of thousands of Colombians, and the curve balls of some religious believers who assured him that his decaying health was a consequence of his unrepentant atheism. In this book he reflects on this experience, which further strengthened his religious skepticism, and connected him with some of the issues he has seen during his time in office at the Ministry of Health. This is an essay that mixes his personal and professional experience with poetry, which he considers is "the only religion left to men", and literature.
