The title of this book raises many questions, placing the reader in a sharp confrontation with two parties—one dominant and the other vanquished—formed through life and time until they took a form in presence and language that is difficult to overcome. They are the 'victim and executioner,' standing in the same square, within a specific geographical area, space, and time, surrounded by much fear, awe, and an unknown fate for both. The book explores the factors that led to their creation together and forced each to confront the other: the executioner with his power and tyranny, and the victim with their submissiveness and a simmering, hidden desire to seize the moment of confrontation, awaiting and preparing for it. In truth, there is a significant question that this dialectic attempts to find a satisfactory answer or a way out, by placing each at a point to explore the extent of the entanglement and intersection between them.
