Some apocalyptic vision runs through the cultural genes of the West, perhaps derived from the millenarianism that was generated from the earliest times of Christianity, and which, curiously, is the basis that animates the utopian and revolutionary movements from the eighteenth century to the present day.
That vision marks us, and is pathetically collected by Ana Teresa Torres in Nocturama, which you interpret very well in your article. Intuition and critical intelligence have allowed Ana Teresa Torres (as Orwell did at the time) to accurately understand Venezuela's destiny as inheritance and present. Hopefully we can escape this definitive destruction.
Thank you for your magnificent post, @nancybriti.

That's right. It's true. I imagine that the fact that Ana Teresa Torres is a psychoanalyst gives her the chance to see beyond our present! To review her work is to become aware of the root of many of our current problems. Thank you for your comment, @josemalavem.
