Texts I - Latest copies for collectors

"Man is born a rebel. His nature repels him. Man longs for a divine immanence. The entire world would be the insufficient body of his implacable longing." This sentence opens the profound philosophical reflection that Nicolás Gómez Dávila records in the refined lines of Textos I, the book of his authorship that for the first time is circulating in an edition open to the public. The only edition prior to this one that Villegas Editores offers today was produced by the author himself in 1959, on a limited and non-commercial basis. The great contribution of this outstanding Colombian philosopher to the thought of the 20th century has been openly recognized in Europe, where his work has been translated and studied especially by Italian and German thinkers who have found in it the fascinating and resounding expression of their intellectual concerns. , despite the geographical distance where it occurred. The previous year, Villegas Editores published his famous Escolios a un Texto Imlícito, which quickly sold out, making its prompt reprinting necessary. The dissemination of the imponderable work of Nicolás Gómez Dávila in our environment has been a pressing need for years that these new editions aspire to resolve.
