Foreword: "This book tries to interpret a contradiction, that the most hateful actions are, as often as not, performed for the best of reasons.The three stories that follow (the Prologue) have only this same idea in common, the men are driven to persecute and betray, not by malice or folly, but by the good they passionately wish their fellow men.".
