Resumen

The title of the book shows, based on a metaphor, the use of euphemism to refer to death. The reader can obtain a transversal vision of this subject: from traditional thought to the great change that took place in the 19th century with the professionalization of health and death, and finally, in the present time, the interweaving with technology. The result is the unfolding of a wide variety of discourses: from thinkers, health professionals, patient testimonies through their narratives, stories from the doctors themselves and writers of diverse genres.
