Tomás' adolescent tension reaches a point of no return when he travels with his family to the small holiday town where they usually spend their holidays. It all starts to happen suddenly in an unstoppable series of events: the discovery of sex and violence, death, and transgression… Tomás discovers himself in a flash, as if unable to avoid his intelligence being one step behind his actions, until the dynamics of what is happening lead him to take part in an act he cannot forgive himself for. It is then that he feels obliged to sit down with the only person who can judge and pardon him.

How did the great thinkers love? The stoics, patiently; the vitalists, enthusiastically; the nihilists, pesimistically. For a philosopher, love is as exciting and as painful as it is for the rest of us mortals. Plato's eroticism, Saint Augustine's lust, Spinoza's frustration, Abelard and Heloïse's passion and the strange relationship of Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir have all contributed towards our concept of love.

The entertaining stories in this book demonstrate the colateral, generally unforeseen, effects of any decision taken, be it at a personnal level or in organisations and businesses. These are the 'saddlebags' that accompany decisions. The main characters in this narrative are very human animals or, from another perspective, perhaps it is an animal's view of humans.
