History and Utopia

From those countries that were ours and no longer belong to anyone, you insist on me after all these years of silence, to provide you with some details about what concerns me, and also about this "wonderful" world that you say I am lucky to dwell in and wander through. I can answer you that I am an unemployed man and that this world has no wonder in it. But an answer so brief, despite its accuracy, will not succeed in satisfying your curiosity nor in providing a satisfactory response to many of your questions.
