Every language holds the essence of the people that speak and have spoken them since their origin. With each word that disappears an idea originated by humankind dies. In this book, Alex Grijelmo looks to defend the Spanish language from all that threatens it ?schooling, the colonizing power of the English language, the apathy of those that are in control of the political, economic and informative powers. Through progress and coexistence of all the different cultures that constitute the Hispanic world, the author searches for the clues that will allow us to overcome this potential crisis.
