История европейской интеграции началась не после 20 века нашей эры: это был лишь эпилог очень долгого процесса политического, религиозного и социокультурного формирования, начавшегося с великого приключения Александра Македонского и его импровизированной вселенской империи. В последующие века Европа стала страной иммиграции народов азиатского происхождения и индоевропейской матрицы, которые оказались на континенте, вышедшем изо льда, и заняли свое собственное ”жизненное пространство”

Mi padre murió pronto y sus recuerdos quedaron en ese limbo de la memoria en el que se desvanecen las vidas de los que nos precedieron y a los que no escuchamos cuando estaban vivos. Luego nos arrepentimos de ello y, como yo ahora, tratamos de reconstruir sus pequeñas historias con los retazos de lo que se quedó en el aire y aún alcanzamos a recordar.
