18 authors from all over the world have responded to the theme(s) staked out for this project, each in his own way, each against his own cultural, ideological, philosophical etc. background, thus providing a great variety of styles and attitudes. It has filled me with great personal joy to feel that - within the limitations of this project - we have found the UNIDAD EN LA DIVERSIDAD (Simon Retti), unity in diversity, which has been essential for this project.
