There are texts, either essays or fiction, that want to provoke intellectual controversy in readers. They use metaphors, data, the tale, as depth charges.

This is the case of 'El ocaso de la democracia’ (The Twilight of Democracy') by Anne Applebaum (Debate Publishers) who intentionally subtitles her extensive reflection: “La seducción del autoritarismo” (The Seduction of Authoritarianism). The author was already interviewed by this newspaper on May 5 by Ramón González Férriz, and she gave reasonable answers to intelligent questions. After reading the book, it is obvious from the first pages that Applebaum is not a political scientist but a journalist with a lot of experience (Pulitzer Prize) who chooses to thread descriptions with a thesis obtainted from references in philosophy, political science and history.
