Quote by René Girard

“J'attends avec impatience le jour où les chercheurs se rendront compte que, dans les mythes, ils ont affaire aux mêmes thèmes que dans la chasse aux sorcières, structurés de la même façon et faussement perçus comme indéchiffrables.”

“Peter! Were you looking for a horse-shoe?" "No; I was expecting the horse, but the shoe is a piece of pure, gorgeous luck." "And observation. I found it." "You did. And I could kiss you for it.

“La Lista” es una novela de espías que cuenta lo que ocurre cuando Graciela firma un contrato en San Petersburgo, donde le proporcionan como tapadera una promoción de cosméticos para infiltrarse entre las familias de clase alta en Túnez. Espías de España, Francia, Gran Bretaña, Rusia y Estados Unidos emplean The Onion Router, la red de los hackers, para seguirla, mientras ella rastrea a los familiares de los científicos en Facebook. Una soplona británica-india intenta avisarla del peligro, pero yerra. Dos víctimas mueren: una francotiradora y un espía británico. En el desenlace, la apertura anual de Naciones Unidas se anuncia caliente con acusaciones cruzadas entre americanos, rusos y europeos, peticiones de asilo internacional y manifestaciones en las universidades estadounidenses a favor de los asilados.”
