«At the age of Wikipedia, with millions of bytes of information just a few clicks away, compilations of historical data on paper are no longer necessary. So this text speaks not only of Ramón y Cajal, but also its impact on Science and society and also my common experience with him, always taking into account the extreme distance that separate eachother. Perhaps it could be seen as a kind of a double biography. At the same time, it has given me a platform to calmly discuss a number of important issues related to the experiences and ideas of Cajal himself that I think are still very relevant. This is the book that you have in your hands. A game of mirrors that would reveal the parallels between two eras, separated by a hundred years but representing equally the exciting historical moments.»
Santiago Ramon y Cajal, scientist, Nobel prize, bodybuilder, writer... is revisited today by Salvador Macip, also doctor, scientist, writer... a perfect game of mirrors that brings us two lives marked by the passion for Science.
