Existe una categorÃa de seres humanos que la historia produce con una regularidad que deberÃa perturbarnos más de lo que nos perturba, una categorÃa que no corresponde al monstruo de las pesadillas ni al villano de las ficciones simples sino a algo más inquietante y más difÃcil de nombrar: el hombre culto, el hombre formado, el hombre que ha dedicado años al estudio de la vida humana y que con ese conocimiento preciso y técnico sobre la fragilidad de los cuerpos y la irreversibilidad de la muerte ha elegido, con plena conciencia de lo que elegÃa, ponerse al servicio del exterminio.
Eduard Karl Wirths era uno de esos hombres. Y esta novela, que mezcla los hechos documentados de su vida con la imaginación necesaria para reconstruir lo que los documentos no pueden alcanzar, no pretende suavizar esa verdad ni convertirla en algo más tolerable de lo que es. Pretende mirarla de frente. Pretende mirar de frente al médico malvado, al criminal de la humanidad, al hombre que juró ante la medicina que aliviarÃa el sufrimiento y que utilizó ese juramento y ese conocimiento como instrumentos de la maquinaria más mortÃfera que el siglo veinte produjo.
