Freedom: that mirage which has seduced the human spirit since the dawn of consciousness, has been both a longing and a curse. We've been taught to revere it as the greatest of all virtues, and yet few can endure its weight. In a world where every gesture seems choreographed by the invisible structures of power, the idea of a "free man" borders on the absurd, the tragic... and at the same time, the deeply comical.

This book is a fragmented portrait, a succession of thoughts, wounds, ironies, and revelations that emerge from the clash between the will to be and the grotesque theater of the system. It is not a work meant to console, nor to feed naïve hopes. It is, rather, an X-ray of the contemporary soul: that man who, believing himself free, crawls among golden chains, programmed decisions, and a forced smile in the face of the absurdity of his condition.

Here, the ridiculous is woven with the sublime, the fall with resistance, and pain with lucidity. For in this tragicomedy that is the life of the free man, there are no clear heroes or villains—only actors who, knowingly or not, play their part on a stage they never chose.
