Fernando Savater has been one of the best essayists this country has had in the last forty years. He was fine, brilliant, prismatic, cultured, irreverent, funny.

I have changed to get a little closer to what he was when he wrote The Hero's Task. He has changed to look like Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Giorgia Meloni. Let us say goodbye to Savater with tenderness and melancholy. The thing that is important is that changes only change us and not the other way around.
