Umberto Eco reflexiona con maestría sobre la importancia de tener un enemigo. Todo el mundo necesita tener un enemigo, nos dice Umberto Eco, los países, los sistemas, cada uno de nosotros... Y si no existe el enemigo, hay que inventarlo, es una figura imprescindible, un antagonista que nos permite definir nuestra identidad y medir nuestro sistema de valores. Este ensayo extraordinario, cuya idea desarrollará después en su novela El cementerio de Praga, apareció en el volumen homónimo que recoge trece «textos de ocasión» según el propio Eco, publicado en Lumen el año 2012.
